Russian kamikaze UAVs "Geran-2" during today's attack on Kiev were painted black for the first time to make them harder to spot in the night sky.

The carbon based body, together with black color makes it much harder to detect these "Iranian" #kamikaze drones.

Russia and Belarus have 2 factories building these drones and the new batches of them seems to have significantly larger payload since the body of the drone is much lighter.

Last night #Ukraine reported that they shot down 71 out of 75 #Shahed-136" drones, but the Russian armed forces said that they had only sent 40 #drones towards different targets.

#China is testing out its own version of the Iranian #Shahed-136 drone, dubbed 'Sunflower 200'

It is unclear whether this is simply a copycat, or whether China got a production license from #Iran.

Who could have thought countries producing Iranian made weapons?

We sure live in a new world and military conflicts are not going to be the same in the future.

not sure if it's accurate: #Zelensky's photo with #Iranian #drone is fake

The Iranians caught the Ukrainian president in a lie. In #Iran, they remind that the length of the #Shahed-136 #UAV is 3.5 meters, and the width is 2.5 meters. Meanwhile, Zelensky's height is only 170 cm!

This was reported by some pro Russian accounts.

The information about Shahed is accurate thought.

Here is the spec and data:
