The advantages are doubtful: the military has revealed details about the jet "Shahamed", knocked down in Ukraine

Communications specialist Sergei Beskrestnov said that in the new model the same is the power of a combat charge as in Shahd-136, but the benefits of a jet drone, however, are unconfirmed. Shahamed's reactive drone, which was shot down by the military during the mass attack of the Russian military on the night of January 8, was probably a test model and was not massively produced in the Russian Federation.

A specialist in communication and radio technologies Sergey "Flash" Beskrestnov in an interview with focus told about it. According to him, our country was attacked by a new Iranian modification that has not been produced in Russia. Most likely, it was an experimental use of the Shahd model equipped with a jet engine. And because of the dubious advantages over ShahED-136, their production is unlikely to be serial.

Sergei Flash also said that the work on the study of functional and equipment on board the whipped drone with a jet engine is still being conducted by experts. So far, we can conclude that the new model is the same by power of a battle charge as in Shahd-136. It can fly and maneuver at high speeds. "We can say that it is not particularly different from ShahED-136 so far, most likely it is the first instance. Perhaps just one of those devices that a couple of weeks ago" Il-76 "brought from Iran.

Then we received intelligence information that came such a board, "Beskrestnov said. In addition, the military told why the Armed Forces did not confirm the information that this new "Shahaned" was being knocked down in Ukraine. Sergiy Beskrestnov stressed that the Air Force is not all the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so they cannot give press releases and comments for all the Armed Forces. We will remind, in early January Sergey Beskrestnov told how to recognize "Shahaned" with a jet engine.

He noted that Shahed-238 Iranian drones have become more dangerous for Ukrainians due to their maneuverability and capacity, so people need to know how to recognize the work of such drone in the sky. And at the beginning of December 2023, aviation expert Valery Romanenko expressed the opinion that Shahda with a jet engine would be easier to destroy.
