For the attack on the riot police base in Grozny on December 15, a long-range drone created on the basis of the Ukrainian-made sports plane Aeroprakt A-22 was probably used, Forbes reports.
According to the publication, the attack on the riot police base in Grozny was another case of the use of Aeroprakt A-22, which Ukrainian intelligence has been using since the beginning of this year “modified into unilateral strike drones.”
In particular, a drone can fly up to 1,300 kilometers. It has an additional fuel tank, as well as a remote guidance system and explosive charges. Previously, such aircraft struck a drone factory, a missile research center and a naval base with ships.
Footage shot by eyewitnesses in Grozny during the December 15 raid was shown “some new details about the home-made attack drone,” the post reads.
Yes, the UAV had opaque plugs that covered the normally transparent glass around the A-22 cockpit. The journalists also believe that the drone used to have a registration number on its tail. The footage from December 15 shows paint on the number plate.
“This could mean that the intelligence agency is looking for used A-22s for its drone program, rather than taking all the airframes directly from Kyiv’s Aeroprakt plant,” Forbes writes.
Hitting the target produced a fiery explosion, without the debris wave one would expect from a purpose-built long-range strike munition such as the British Storm Shadow cruise missile.
On December 15, a series of explosions thundered in Grozny. The city was attacked by drones.
Drones already attacked Grozny a few days ago. On December 12, the Kremlin puppet Ramzan Kadyrov reported that four Guardsmen were slightly wounded during the explosion of an anti-aircraft missile over the barracks of the special police regiment named after Akhmat Kadyrov. Akhmat Kadyrov.
