The Russians have fired on Kharkiv for the first time with a new model of the Chernika attack drone. This was reported by the city's mayor, Ihor Terekhov.
The new drone has a warhead similar to the Molniya drone, which the Russians regularly use to bomb cities. However, the Chernika has a more advanced and streamlined design.
Several cars on the territory of the garage cooperative were damaged by a drone strike.
As noted in the publication Militarnyi, referring to Russian sources, the drone Chernika exists in two versions. The first is intended for the destruction of manpower and has a warhead with an air explosion weighing 0.7 kg. The drone's flight range is up to 80 km.
The second version is more powerful and has a warhead weighing up to 3.5 kg. It is intended for the destruction of equipment or small structures and is capable of flying at a distance of 100 km. In addition, the updated version of the drone has received a target guidance system.
As a reminder, the Main Intelligence Directorate recently published data on components found in enemy Shaheds. In the latest MS series drones, intelligence officers found an American minicomputer that helps artificial intelligence guide the drone to the target. Oboronka wrote about the new Shaheds' equipment last week.
