Kamikaze drones, also referred to as suicide drones or loitering munitions, are a new trend in modern warfare. These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are designed to explode upon reaching their intended target.
The Russian Defense Ministry recently unveiled footage revealing a Russian soldier's exceptional skills in deceiving a Ukrainian drone operator into squandering his equipment. This top-notch fighter serves in the 1st Donetsk Army Corps, according to the press.
The Russian Armed Forces employ a range of countermeasures to tackle enemy drones effectively, which include both physical and electronic techniques, such as the usage of jamming devices.
Watch Russian Kornet Missile Annihilate Ukrainian IFV
The Russian 9M133 Kornet is a highly advanced, shoulder-launched anti-tank guided missile system that has revolutionized the way modern armies engage armored vehicles. With the ability to penetrate up to 1,200 mm of armor, the Kornet is one of the most lethal anti-tank weapons in the world.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage of a Russian 9M133 Kornet man-portable anti-tank guided missile destroying Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) and its crew with a precise hit.
According to the ministry, the enemy armored vehicle was detected by reconnaissance and was hit at a distance of 7,800 meters.
Russia Unleashes Carpet Bombing of Ukrainian Positions Using New Drones
The Russian army has been actively employing drones, also referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), within the special military operation zone. These drones are progressively becoming a crucial component of contemporary warfare because of their versatility and cost-effectiveness.
The Russian Armed Forces in several areas of the special military operation zone have started a carpet bombing campaign of Ukrainian positions with the help of special Inferno drone bombers, the 'Rustehnodron' developer told Sputnik.
"The Inferno drone is equipped with nine slots for dropping grenades. In the course of the combat mission, it passes over the Ukrainian trenches, opens "bomb hatches" and in a series of three drops grenades. It turns out to be analogous to carpet bombing in aviation. As a result, the enemy personnel gets casualties killed and wounded. Also, the drone can effectively bomb lightly armored vehicles," the company representative said.
The company "has already delivered hundreds of Inferno unmanned bombers to units in the special military operation zone," he added.

The company representative went on to say that the drone does not need to hover over trenches due to the presence of an additional downward bombing camera: the device throws bombs on the move. This dramatically increases the drone's survivability, while a hovering drone can be shot down by fire from small arms.
The Inferno drone carries a four-kilogram combat load, which can include VOG-17 grenades, GP-25 grenades and specially manufactured factory ammunition designed to be dropped from drones. This ammunition includes both fragmentation and shaped charge types. Additionally, the UAV has a range of five kilometers.
