The Armed Forces attacked Tatarstan by specially created drones with a range of 3100 km - FighterBomber

He posted a photo showing two large unmanned aircraft, which resembles a device that hit a hostel in Elabuz. They have a similar design and shape of the nose, but rather thick tails and other location of the chassis. "If the Ukrainians are not lying, the NPZ and the hostel in the Elabuz were attacked by such specially created drones. The claimed range is 3100 km.

He later updated the post and stated: "In the Elabuga such did not fly," but about the explosion at the refinery, located in Nizhnnokamsk, did not specify anything. Only the first photo on the social network Facebook posted on April 2, Ukrainian military expert Mikhail Zhirokhov. He explained that it depicts the drone E-300 Enterprise. According to the author, they attacked objects in Tatarstan, although many commentators doubted in this version.

E-300 Enterprise was created by the Ukrainian company Aerodrone. Back in December 2022, she received permission for operation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As expected, the model will be used to deliver heavy goods. In 2023, the co-founder of Aerodrone told in an interview with dev. ua that E-300 Enterprise lifts a useful load weighing up to 300 kg. He rated the maximum flight range of up to 3100 kg, but only in the presence of a fuel tank for 350 liters.

It should be borne in mind that some of the weight goes to fuel and the rest to the load, but the ratio can be changed. In other words, the less explosives need to be flew next, and the refinery in Nizhnokamsk is located more than 1200 km from the line of combat collision. Earlier, other versions appeared, which were attacked by Shakhapedov's drones in Elabuz. The Russians themselves suggest that they could fly the drone UJ-22 Airborne or Airpoct A-22, recycled under the drone.
