"This is a very simple drone. It doesn't get more primitive than this. They just launched it at Kharkiv, so to speak, anywhere it might hit. It is a tactical drone, an FPV aircraft-type drone," said Romanenko. According to him, the drone consists of two tubes with a center wing section inside, holding two wing sections. The tail section has stabilizers, and the engine is simply taped to the nose. The expert clarified that the most primitive Chinese electronics are used to assemble the drone.

This is generally quite dangerous," explained Romanenko.
