In Ukraine, a kamikaze drone, similar to the “Shahed,” has been developed

This was revealed by the CEO of “Ukroboronprom,” Herman Smetanin, in an interview with EP.

According to him, the record combat range of the new development is 1,000 kilometers.

“In Ukraine, there are many state and private manufacturers. We have an analog of the ‘Shahed,’ and there are more powerful models because ‘Shaheds’ don’t fly that far. We are currently focusing on the production of more complex and expensive projects with high characteristics”, he said.

The development of a kamikaze drone capable of flying 1,000 kilometers was reported by the former leadership of “Ukroboronprom” earlier this year when the product was still in the testing phase.

It’s worth noting that today, on November 6, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, stated that Ukraine is increasing its weapons production. Thus, to reduce dependence on allies and their military aid, the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex is actively expanding the production of all types of weapons and militarizing the economy.
