Does it blow up once it got inside or was it destroyed by the Russians?
That smoke at the end is the place burning up.
And the drone was the cause of the fire? Is it a βsuicideβ drone or does it drop an explosive and bail? Sorry if these are stupid questions, Iβm not exactly familiar with weapons/warfare.
Yep, suicide drone. They often have a mortar or grenade round strapped to them with a trigger that will set them off when the drone flys into something.
Thank you for the explanation!
They usually have 2 wires at the front. Once they touch each other due to hitting anything they trigger the detonation.
The balls involved loading the thing...
There is a switch that actives this mechanism at whatever point the operator wants, so usually once it is away from them.
