Camera and artificial intelligence: Russia used a new shaheed for attacks in Ukraine

For the first time, Ukraine recorded the use of a Russian kamikaze attack drone of the “Shahed” type with a built-in camera, an artificial intelligence module with machine vision, and a direct radio control system from Russian territory.

This was stated by a specialist in the field of electronic warfare and intelligence, Sergey “Flash” Beskrestnov.

It has been known for a long time that such a drone was being developed. However, the first confirmed use of this type of “shaheed” by the enemy on the territory of Ukraine has only now been recorded.

“The radio modem allows you to control the “Shahed” at a distance of up to 150 kilometers from the borders of Russia or the front line, or at greater distances in the case of using aerial repeaters in our airspace,” Beskrestnov explained.

Recall that during the recent air attack on Kyiv, which took place on the night of June 11, Russian troops first used a new type of kamikaze drone — a jet UAV, probably the Geran-3.

As reported, the Russian military is actively modernizing drones and missiles for combined strikes on the territory of Ukraine, using simulators in particular, and is also strengthening countermeasures against electronic warfare . However, the Ukrainian air defense forces are not lagging behind and are successfully developing relevant technologies.
