A shahed drone is, compared with an eagle, a small light aircraft with a piston-engine pusher prop and an 8 foot wingspan. An eagle couldn’t take one down any more than it could a Cessna, essentially
- nozzlegear 3y agoAh, I didn't know that. So the shaheds are the larger sort of military drones the US and other countries use, more along the lines of reapers and predators than something like a retail drone you or I could buy on Amazon for instance and control with our phones. I'd heard some of them were being used in Ukraine as kamikaze explosives and figured they must be cheap little things being sent into targets. Thanks for the info.
- KineticLensman 3y agoGlad to be of help! >> kamikaze explosives (A couple of years ago these were called loitering munitions, with the meaning of a smallish UAV that could, well, loiter until a target presented itself. Personally I never liked the term 'kamikaze' because destroying yourself is true of shells, cruise missiles, etc etc.)
