The following footage released by the Russian Defense Ministry shows Russian units using loitering munitions, commonly known as kamikaze drones, to attack enemy positions in the Donetsk People's Republic.
Operators controlling the kamikaze drones carried out successful missions, eliminating two Ukrainian infantry groups near the stronghold in the Artemovsk region, the Russian Defense Ministry told Sputnik.
These kamikaze or "suicide" drones demonstrate enhanced combat capabilities by executing precise surgical strikes. Operating in a passive mode, the drone waits patiently within a designated area, scanning for targets and initiating an attack once it identifies and locates its intended prey.
In addition, these munitions have the capability of selective targeting, allowing a strike to be modified or aborted mid-mission.
