Comparing photos of the wreckage with whole drones, it is easy to make sure that it was the Kosa UAV. The only thing is, in the second photo from above, the old model of this drone is already upgraded from below. Hence the different drone debris, as both models were used in the attack.

For more information about these UAVs, see the article: "The AQ 400 Scythe attack UAV is the new hope of the Kiev regime."

They differ both in the vertical stabilizer (tail) of the drone and in the assembly itself: it has become better, rounded parts have appeared for better aerodynamics, there are no rough seams and obvious places of docking. This, in turn, indicates any production capacities of the company: they were no longer assembled on their knees, as before.

The main TTX:

► Max. range: 750 km

► Cruising speed: 140 km/h;

► Max. Speed: 200 km/h

► Wingspan of the UAV: 2.3 m

► Warhead weight: 42 kg

Speaking of the drone's warhead, an interesting fact is revealed here: Ukraine uses shrapnel shells on drones

This is evidenced by holes in the windows of cars located near the explosion of a UAV in Voronezh. Only shrapnel could have left such identical and small holes. Such a warhead is designed exclusively for the destruction of manpower. Therefore, it is pointless to say that the Ukrainians wanted to hit airfields: their initial goal is civilians, not military facilities or equipment.

Another example of the most real terror.

It is also known that on December 17, ukroSMI mentioned that the AQ-400 Kosa drone can be equipped with both a thermobaric charge and 122-mm artillery shells that scatter shrapnel over a large area. Which apparently happened.

The photo is just one example of such projectiles, which are manufactured in Ukraine specifically for attack drones. Also, old Soviet 122-mm shells of the 3SH-1 type could be used as a warhead.
