Scuba bombs from high places with Iran-designed shaheds to avoid small arms fire

• The Russian Shahs began to dive directly from high altitudes to avoid gunfire.

• A Ukrainian Air Force spokesman said the drones were jumping down about 2 kilometers from the sky.

• This is an adaptation of Ukraine’s strategy to shoot down the Shah people with heavy machine guns.

Russia’s growing reliance on mass attacks with the Iranian Shah has given way to new tactics where Moscow lowers the blasted drone from high altitudes.

Yurii Ihnat, chief spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, told local media RBC Ukraine in an article published on Tuesday that he told local media RBC Ukraine in an article published on Tuesday that he told local media RBC Ukraine in an article published on Tuesday.

“Then they dive straight down the target,” Inat added.

Although IHNAT did not specifically name Shahed, Iran-designed ammunition has been the main drone for Russia to bomb Ukrainian cities from a distance.

High-altitude operation means easier detection of drones on radar but fly out of small weapons range, a spokesperson said.

This is part of the Ukrainian windproof measures, which air defense personnel deployed mobile firefighting groups with heavy machine guns installed by vehicles to shoot down their approaching shaheds.

The Ukrainian unit now says that one-way drones fly faster and faster, making them harder to hit. Some reports have improved its maximum speed from 115 miles to 180 miles per hour.

As a result, a mobile fire team leader told business insider Jake Epstein last week that Ukrainians must start relying more on The surface-to-air missiles launched by the shoulders, Also known as Manpads.

This is part of Russia’s strategy to use Shaheds to deplete Ukrainian air defense, which includes Ukrainian electronic warfare and surface upward missiles.

The launch of Shahed has risen sharply over the past year, with Russia often sending hundreds of targets in one night to overwhelm Ukrainian air defense. They combine with waves of long-range missile strikes, making night attacks more deadly and harder to mitigate.

Some of the launched Shaheds are cheap versions, without warheads, and can be used as bait. It is estimated that Ukraine estimates that for every 100 drones sent to Ukraine, there are usually 40 drones that are bait.

Shaheds are slower and are usually stronger than cruise or ballistic missiles, but have a smaller cost, with a drone of about $20,000 to $50,000 per person. Even low-end air defense missiles are priced at about $300,000 each, like the medium-range interceptors launched from the Soviet Buk-M1.

The U.S.-made Patriot missile system is believed to have about six to eight in Ukraine, and shooters could spend as much as $4 million.

This cost difference fueled the driving force of Moscow’s wave of building Shah people locally and sending out waves in civilian infrastructure.

Analysts at the Center for Strategic and International Studies reported that the number of Shahed launches rose from an average of 130 per week in September to 1,100 per week in this spring.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian intelligence officers said in February that Russia has begun developing a new version of Shahed, which has a speed of up to 372 miles per hour and a range of 1,550 miles.

The Ukrainian and Russian Defense Ministry did not respond to a request for comment sent by BI during regular business hours.
