In Thailand, they created the first domestic kamikaze drone, which, apparently, without thinking twice, they decided to call Kamikaze. Demonstrating it, a representative of the local Royal Air Force said it was designed for "precise and destructive strikes in order to strengthen national security and sovereignty."
This is reported by the Thai newspaper The Nation.
This "Thai Geranium" was developed by local engineers. The Navamind Kasatriadhiraj Royal Air Force Academy, the Thai Air Force Armament Department and the Aviation and Aerospace Technology Development Center of the Air Force of this Asian country are involved in its creation.
The drone's tests were successful. Its ability to hit targets with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead at a medium-range range with an accuracy of up to five meters has been confirmed.

The success of the test brings the device closer to mass production and commissioning. This will further strengthen Thailand's defense capability.
- stated in the Royal Air Force.
Recently, almost every army in the world has been striving to have kamikaze drones in service. During the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, they completely turned the idea of modern warfare in the minds of generals and politicians. One of the main advantages of such weapons is their relative cheapness and high efficiency.
