The best and most powerful than the 'Lancet': The Russian Federation uses a new kamikaze drone for attacks.


The occupying army of Russia uses a new kamikaze drone 'Iitalmas'
The occupying army of Russia began using strike unmanned aerial vehicles 'Iitalmas' ('Product-54') on the battlefield. This is reported by Defense Express.
It is noted that the Russian Federation presented its new kamikaze drone 'Iitalmas' back in September 2023. The manufacturer of 'Lancet' noted that the new development should have better tactical and technical characteristics and is similar in appearance and launch method to 'Shahed'. Testing of this new UAV began in the winter of 2023.
And already in October of that year, after the enemy first showed 'Iitalmas' on video, the Russians began to talk about the first use of their new weapon, but it should be emphasized that it was so-called Russian military correspondents who first reported this, while there were no convincing evidence to confirm this fact.
The 'Iitalmas' drone has a range of about 200 km, and the weight of its warhead is tens of kilograms. The Russians claim that it is equipped with artificial intelligence systems.
It is also claimed that on the new kamikaze drone, Russian military personnel even installed an optoelectronic station that allows controlling this UAV and directing it to a target 'in real Time', similar to the Israeli IAI Harop.
It should be reminded that Russia is currently using 'Shahed' drones with an increased warhead of up to 90 kg and metal elements (shrapnel) to increase the number of casualties among the civilian population.
