The Russian Federation attacked Ukraine with a new type of shock drone "Dan-M": what is known

To spread: In the morning of May 29, Russian troops attacked Ukraine with new-type drones based on "Dan-M". Ukrainian expert in military technologies Sergey Beskrestnov told details on his Facebook page. "Tan-M" is a jet drone created as a target for training of air defense crews. According to Sergiy Beskrest, the Russians processed it into a shock drone, and the day before they launched a group of such devices from the Crimea.

"For reasons of information security, I cannot inform the fate of this group of impact UAVs," he added. The original "tribute" was noticeable red, but for the impact version it was changed. The modified UAV flies at a speed of 400-750 km/h, rises to a height of 9 km, the flight time is 25-40 minutes. Sergiy Beskrestnov noted that at the beginning of the war, Ukraine similarly processed the Soviet reconnaissance UAV "Striz" due to a lack of shock drones and winged missiles.

The motives of the Russians are still unknown. They probably have a large number of such targets. According to the Russian Aviation Website, dedicated to the Aviation Technique, Danish UAVs have been adhered to in the Kazan Research and Destruction Bureau "Sokil" for imitation of air threats, such as winged missiles (in particular, "Tomahawk") and permeal aircraft of tactical aviation.

The drone is made according to the classic aerodynamic scheme with a direct average wing and a turbojet engine in the tail part. The "tribute" takes off from the starting unit using a powder accelerator, and sits with a parachute. Earlier it was written that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation use drones-interceptors "Christmas tree". They are equipped with artificial intelligence in order to give, pursue and destroy Ukrainian drones in the sky.
