"Shahed" drone
Russian forces have upgraded their "Shahed" drones, increasing their speed and flight altitude.
This was reported by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) with reference to a Ukrainian soldier who works in a mobile air defense unit.
On October 15, the Ukrainian soldier explained that earlier versions of the Russian "Shahed" drones were slow, difficult to maneuver, and could only fly at low altitudes. However, Russian forces have since upgraded the components of the drones, allowing them to fly faster and at higher altitudes.
The serviceman also noted that Ukrainian mobile fire groups have improved their techniques and tactics to continue effectively targeting and destroying these enemy drones.
