Putin Use all kinds of weapons to try and win them War in Ukraine. Now it’s their turn Kamizaze drones Zala KYB. A Movie by the Russian army, circulating on social media, shows what appears to be an attack on a Ukrainian military convoy by a remote-controlled aircraft. A new weapon to be used in eastern Ukraine.
Nuclear war, Putin tests the “flying Chernobyl: the missile that can hit at an unlimited distance (even the United States)
Russian kamikaze drones, the new technology
The kamikaze drone is called “Zala KYB” and is manufactured by a subsidiary of the Russian Kalashnikov Group. The video circulated on social media shows the moment of the attack on a Ukrainian military convoy. It’s fast approaching the 155mm M777 Howitzers, which it is United States they supplied the Ukrainians. But the attack by the Russian army with the drone “Zala KYB” seems to have failed. It is said to have exploded ten meters from the Ukrainian gun. But the record shows once again that the Russian army has some modern weapons in its arsenal, although not yet exactly: because often, like this time, their targets are missing.

The video of the attack
The clip, also shared by a likely pro-Russian Telegram account that includes a “Z” in the profile picture, was reposted on Twitter by Rob Lee, a PhD student in the War Studies Department at King’s College University, London. The researcher believes the attack may have been carried out using a Zala KYB-UAV, also known as the KUB-BLA Suicide drone manufactured by a subsidiary of Russia’s Kalashnikov concern. In the video, the KUB-BLA appears to fall a short but significant distance from the howitzer, forcing a force on the ground to move when ammunition explodes. Since the video cannot be independently confirmed, it is unclear whether the troops were injured in the attack or the extent of the damage to equipment.
#Ukraine: The Russian side claimed for the first time that they fired on US-supplied M777A2 howitzers in Pidhirne. #Donetsk oblast. Initially, a loitering ZALA KYB ammunition was used, but it did little damage at best given the distance of impact and weak explosive payload. pic.twitter.com/jRDWqHJuf8

For Ukrainians “attack failed”
The video is also from the @UAWeapons Twitter account, which has tracked the use of military weapons in Ukraine since the start of the war. According to the report, the attack caused “minor damage at most” due to the “impact distance and low explosive charge.”
Russia’s answer
Russia, on the other hand, claims to have destroyed a US-made M77 howitzer used by Ukrainian troops. Another unconfirmed video shared by a pro-Russian military Telegram account claimed that the same area was hit by MLRS fire, destroying a battery of American M777 howitzers. But Ukraine Weapons Tracker points out that no howitzers were seen in this next footage.
