Thermobaric warheads release a flammable aerosol just before detonation. During an explosion, the mixture burns with oxygen from the air, resulting in strong shock waves and sudden pressure changes that are lethal to humans.
Tests conducted on debris from the suicide drone revealed it was also equipped with a navigation system made by Russia's Cometa and a control panel made in China.
War in Ukraine. Russia uses thermobaric warheads
“It has not yet been established whether this increases the accuracy of the attack, but it certainly causes a more destructive explosion,” the Ukrainian news agency UNN reported.
In addition, the Russian military company Luselectronics has developed a coating for thermobaric gun systems that absorbs radio waves. This makes it invisible to radar, targeting systems, and thermal imagers.
Ukraine. 2,000 drones per month
British defense officials said Russia launched 1,300 kamikaze drones into Ukraine in September.
Ukrainian authorities claim that number was exceeded in October, at more than 2,000. Drones attacked both civilian and military targets in Ukraine.
