Russians Alarmed By Ukraine’s Fence Post Drone Bomb

Article excerpt

Ukraine has developed a fence-post-shaped bunker-busting bomb for its multicopter drones that Russian forces say bypasses most existing anti-drone defenses. The weapon's simple design borrows features from established munitions but in a form that apparently exploits gaps in Russia's air-defense systems. Ukrainian drones have used such improvised and modified weapons throughout the war to strike targets that conventional anti-drone measures struggle to intercept, and this latest iteration appears to concern Russian military analysts enough to warrant public alarm.
