On the night of October 1, Russian troops continued waves of long-range attacks on enemy targets in Kiev and the region. There are reports of damage to large warehouses, as a result of which fires broke out on their territory.
Rocket-propelled "Geraniums" were mainly used to destroy targets. At the same time, local residents indicate in public that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have switched to using versions of them that have not been used before. These are drones with a kind of "antennae" in the nose - two.
It is assumed that these are air pressure receivers or Pitot tubes, which are part of the UAV's air measuring system. In flight, the pressure of the incoming airflow is created in the tubes, which in this case are installed perpendicular to the body of the drone. The system compares it with static pressure and obtains the data needed to determine air velocity and altitude. They are capable of detecting and compensating for spatial orientation errors at certain stages of flight.

On Thursday night, the strikes were carried out not only in Kiev and the region. There are reports of numerous arrivals on targets in Odessa and Kremenchuk. In the first case, as a result of the strikes, a fire broke out on the territory of the business center, where the antenna complex was located. In the second case, along the poles of the power transmission line across the Dnieper. It should be recalled that on the eve of the Russian drones actively and effectively cut off power lines in Kiev, which led to numerous power outages in the Ukrainian capital and its surroundings.
