‼️ Official: Unmanned Systems Forces Intercept “Shaheeds”
Operators of the Darknode unit of the 412th NEMESIS Regiment of the SBS have already destroyed more than 10 enemy Shahed-136/131 attack UAVs using the latest means.
The product costs about $5,000. While the cost of the enemy’s kamikaze drones is over $150,000.
The Unmanned Systems Forces continue to implement innovative solutions that increase the effectiveness of the Ukrainian Defense Forces to save the lives of Ukrainians.
‼️ Regarding the activities and results of work in this direction, expect further official news.
🇺🇦 USF One step ahead!
Please be ten shotguns duct taped together
Let’s hope we can quickly scale this system.
I thought the Shaheds were a lot cheaper than that. Aren’t they essentially WW2-era V2s only piloted by the equivalent of a Raspberry Pi?
V2s are rockets. Shaheds are mopeds with wings, export cost is in the 150k-200k range, domestic production costs estimates range 10k to 50k, which sounds about right for a two-stroke engine, a not completely shoddy airframe (not model styrofoam or such), payload, and some electronics depending on purchase power equivalence, how sanctioned you are, etc.
Congratulations!
