As NBN reports with reference to the material of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the “liberators” began to use improved Shahed-136 attack drones for air attacks on Ukraine, having installed thermobaric warheads in this type of drone.

In particular, the other day the Kiev Research Institute of Forensic Expertise, having studied the fragments of the downed Shahed-136 UAVs, which the “second army of the world” struck our country on October 26-29, confirmed the modernization of the Russian-Iranian kamikaze drones.

As it became known, the specified kamikaze drones Russians installed thermobaric warheads, the activation of which provides a volumetric explosion, since a combustible substance is pre-sprayed in the form of an aerosol, and the resulting gas cloud “burns” the air after detonation, covering a larger radius due to the formation of an ignition region with increased pressure.

Earlier we wrote that the occupiers will intensify attacks with “Shaheds” on Ukraine from the end of October.
