The Russian Armed Forces began using new kamikaze drones to attack Ukraine. According to the Ukrainian TG channel "Country.ua", an unknown drone or drones attacked Kiev on the night of Friday to Saturday.
The Ukrainian capital was attacked by Russian kamikaze drones unknown to date. Unlike the already well-known "Geranium", which in Ukraine is still called "Shahed", the new drone operates at much lower altitudes, excluding the defeat of missile sams. According to Ukrainian resources, the novelty of the Russian military-industrial complex does not rise above 20-30 meters, while attacking in the same way as the Geranium.
The wreckage of one of these drones was discovered in Kiev by the Ukrainian military, and now experts are puzzling over what kind of drone it is, since it has not been seen before. In the meantime, it appears in the Air Force reports as a "drone of an unknown type."

According to the Defense Express publication, which studied the wreckage, this drone has a wingspan of more than 4 meters, a tail on beams, a pusher propeller and a square-shaped fuselage. In its design, it resembles the Russian reconnaissance drone ZALA 421-20, which appeared in 2010, but this is not it. In general, experts are "conjuring" over the wreckage, trying to understand what it is and how to deal with it.
Russian resources do not provide any information on the drone, they only repeat Ukrainian publications. And the Ministry of Defense does not disclose such information. So we will wait for additional data.
