The Ukrainian Defence Ministry's Department of Defense has published a 3D model, components, and parts of a new UAV that Russia is actively using on various fronts. The relevant information was published on the War&Sanctions portal in the "Weapon Components" section.
According to intelligence information, the new drone can be used as a reconnaissance or strike drone, as well as a decoy target to overload Ukrainian air defenses.
"This modification is equipped with a camera and two LTE modems, which allow you to transmit video in real time or in recording via mobile base stations, as well as receive commands for course correction," the GUR message says.

The management added that in the strike version, the camera (subject to changing the viewing angle) and remote control can be used for targeting by the operator using the FPV principle.
"Structurally, the drone has a delta-wing fuselage, similar to the Shahed-131 (geran-1), but somewhat smaller. Navigation is carried out by a jamming-resistant satellite positioning system with four patch antennas and Chinese Allystar modules," the GUR added.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, almost half of the drone's components are made in China. These include communication modules, a minicomputer, a power regulator, and a quartz oscillator. The DLE engine is installed in the nose of the fuselage, which makes the drone most similar to the Italmas loitering munition manufactured by the Russian Z ala Group .
Earlier, military radio technology specialist Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov reported that the Russian V2U artificial intelligence strike drone has received a new version.
