Polish-made ‘kamikaze’ drone slam into Russian army camp

The Essential Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine launched Friday footage that seems to point out a Warmate loitering munition putting a Russian army camp in occupied Enerhodar, within the northwest Zaporizhzhia area.

In line with the army intelligence service, the Troopers used precision “suicide” drones to take out the targets.

“Utilizing kamikaze drones, a blow was struck on the tent camp and enemy autos, together with a truck with anti-aircraft weapons and BM-21 Grad… because of the assault, 3 Rashists [Russian Soldiers] had been killed, 12 had been injured,” the army intelligence service mentioned.

It was earlier reported that three Ukrainian kamikaze drones had struck Russian targets on the premises of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Energy Plant in Energodar. The nuclear energy plant’s reactors had been undamaged and the radiation background was regular.

Russian-backed Zaporizhia Oblast occupation administration head Vladimir Rogov claimed that Ukrainian “terrorists,” doubtless referring to Ukrainian troops, attacked the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Energy Plant with kamikaze UAVs, that are extremely correct and unlikely to have risked injury to the Zaporizhzhia NPP nuclear reactors.

The Warmate is a loitering munition developed by Polish firm WB Electronics. A loitering munition is a weapon system class wherein the munition loiters across the goal space for a while, searches for targets, and assaults as soon as a goal is positioned. The system is characterised by a light-weight construction and the flexibility to carry out numerous varieties of missions.

The system design permits its set up on autos (vehicles, APCs) and integration of the Floor Management Station and the Floor Knowledge Terminal with onboard car techniques. The Warmate constitutes different for anti-tank guided missiles with its functionality to function in a considerably bigger radius, permitting snug detection and statement of the potential goal in a comparatively giant time span (the flight time is ca. 70 minutes).
