The Air Force of Ukraine found out about a new principle of modernization of Russian drones

Shahed

The Russian invaders began to cover "Shahed" with carbon and repaint black.

The Russians are trying to make their drones more invisible

The spokesman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ignat, notes the Russian army has previously improved the UAVs it received from Iran and those manufactured directly on the territory of the aggressor country, using composite materials for the reflective surface there.

Now we can see that we have used carbon material. Carbon, which is an absorbing material for the radar signal, and the color black — it's clear why. This will complicate the work of air defense, namely the visual reference to the target of mobile fire groups, — Yuriy Ignat explained.

Against this background, one cannot fail to mention that on the night of November 25, the Russian invaders launched a record number of attack UAVs over Ukraine – 75 "Shahed" drones.

Our air defense forces managed to shoot down 74 of them.

How Zelenskyy reacted to the mass attack of the Russian Federation on Holodomor Memorial Day

According to Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, he considers it deliberate terror that the Russian army launched a record number of "Shahed" drones at night on the day of remembrance of the victims of the Holodomor.

More than 70 "shaheds" on the night of the memory of the victims of the Holodomor-genocide. Conscious terror. It is at this time. The leadership of Russia is proud of the fact that it can kill. Our soldiers shot down most of the drones. Unfortunately, not all of them, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

He also pledged again that his team would do everything possible to strengthen its air defenses and unite the world in defense against Russian terror.
