Russia is using Iranian-made kamikaze drones in attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities
Ukraine has accused Russia of using kamikaze drones against civilian targets in Kyiv.
It has a warhead packed with explosives and is designed to loiter over a target until it is instructed to attack.The Shahed-136 has a wingspan of about 2.5m and can be hard to detect on radar."They fly low and you can send them in waves. These swarms of drones are much harder to counter by air defences," military expert Justin Crump told the BBC.It's unclear exactly how many Russia has, but the US has said Iran planned to send hundreds to Russia. Iran has denied doing so.
Ukraine's main military drone is the Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2. It is about the size of a small plane, has cameras on board, and can be armed with laser-guided bombs.
