Military expert on electronic warfare and electronic warfare Sergey "Flash" Beskrestnov reported on his social media pages about the first confirmed use of an Iranian kamikaze drone with a jet engine in Ukraine. The main threat of this drone is its increased speed (instead of 200 km/h, it can reach speeds of 400 to 600 km/h), which makes it much more difficult to shoot down by mobile air defence units. On the other hand, it has a much higher price, which offsets the main advantage of the Shaheds in their low cost, and is, on the contrary, an easier target for hand-held man-portable air defence systems such as the Stinger or Igla or the Polish Piorun due to the high thermal radiation of the jet engine.
