Moscow could be attacked many times by Ukraine's $110,000 Beaver kamikaze drones with a launch range of 1,000 kilometres

Since the late spring of 2023, the Russian capital has been attacked several times by unknown drones. Ukrainian volunteer Serhiy Prytula showed the kamikaze drones Beaver. Apparently, they were the ones that attacked Moscow.

Here's What We Know

In late May, mysterious drones attacked elite neighbourhoods of the Russian capital. A few days ago, drones tried to strike the building of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation. Today, 30 July, an early morning UAV attack hit the 10th floor of the IQ-quarter office buildings in the Moscow City complex, where the offices of the Russian Ministry of Digital Development were located.

Beaver has a "duck" aerodynamic scheme. It allows for rapid changes in flight altitude to evade air defences. The key external feature of the aerodynamic scheme is that the horizontal wing is mounted ahead of the main wing.

The 14-bis is one of the first aircraft to be built using this scheme. The aircraft made its first flight almost 120 years ago. It reminded eyewitnesses of a duck, due to which the aerodynamic scheme received such a name.

As for Ukrainian drones, Serhiy Pritula's Charitable Foundation has purchased 50 drones for ₴200 million ($5.45). The cost of one Kamikaze UAV is approximately $110,000. Beaver can hit targets up to 1,000 kilometres away.
