The russian occupation forces introduced new modifications to kamikaze drones. In particular, the aggressor state of russia began using Shahed-136 attack drones with thermobaric warheads.
This was reported by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
Thus, analysts refer to the message of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise, which reported on October 29 that the wreckage of the Shahed-136 drones used by the russians in a series of strikes from October 26 to 29 indicates that the russian troops modified the drones for use thermobaric warheads.
In addition, Ruselectronics, a subsidiary of russian state defense conglomerate Rostec, said on October 30 that it had developed a radio-absorbing coating for russia's TOS-1A Solntsepyok thermobaric artillery systems. This coating makes the system "invisible" to modern guidance systems and thermal imagers.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, in October, russia launched 2,023 Shahed attack drones and drones of an unspecified type over Ukraine.
At the same time, British intelligence said that the aggressor state of russia attacked Ukraine in September with a record number of kamikaze drones - 1,300 drones. The agency predicted that russia would exceed this number in October.
