The 9th Brigade of the 1st Donetsk Army Corps published a clip that shows kamikaze drones hitting Kiev troops. Ukrainian militants can be spotted lurking in the trenches, however, the Russian forces locate and eliminate them in the nick of time.
A short video from the first-person perspective allows the viewer to see the missile flying toward the target before it leaves nothing but smoke and blaze at the enemy's hideout.
Kamikaze drones are a common term for loitering munitions – which are much more intelligent and effective than simple projectiles. This weaponry is designed to loiter – passively and patiently waiting for the target. Loitering munition can be re-targeted or simply ordered to stop amidst the flight – the feature that allows them to carry out high-precision strikes and avoid friendly fire.
Russia has developed a line of kamikaze drones, including the state-of-art "Privet-82." The name of the drone is translated into English as "Hello" which is a bit sarcastic, since "Farewell" would also be an appropriate name for such a weapon.
