Ukrainian drones attacked Shahed production.

Location: Asobaya economic zone “Alabuga”, Yelabuga, Tatarstan

Currently, it is not known whether the building where the Shaheds are produced was hit, because according to the statements of the Russian UAVs, there were several.

Judging by the shape of the fuselage of the front part, the rear tail part, the stabilizers, the rear rudder and the shape of the attachment of the wings to the fuselage of the “UAV” that attacked Alabuga resembles a Ukrainian-made Aeroprakt A-22 aircraft.

    That’s a fucking plane and not an UAV or am I missing something?

    I was wondering when they would start using civil aviation aircraft to conduct strikes. I’m not sure of the legality of weaponizing civilian assets for military purposes, but it’s an effective disguise if they can log a flight plan near a sensitive target. Even if they don’t hit the target or get shot down, then Russia will have to run the risk of shooting down its own civilian aircraft or stop general aviation flights near high value targets.

      They definitely aren’t logging any flight plans. They operate this drone the same way they operate all their other drones as far as we know. It is an automated flight plan that attempts to circumvent Russian interference and air defense before autonomously impacting its target

      There’s a long and sad history of weaponozing civilian aircraft. From Swiss “civilian” planes with ready to transform pilons to Cessnas that can fire rockets against “insurgents”.

      And if all fails, you can haphazardly drop barrel bombs from pretty much anything with wings and a door.

      The innovation is slapping drone controls on a plane that allow for both remote and pre programmed flight. Something tested in many combinations since WW2 and made much more reliable and cheaper with newer tech.

      Ukrainian army seem to love to use ironic means of destruction. Like use a GPS guided shell to destroy GPS jammers, or the like. So use a kamikaze UAV to target a kamikaze UAV production plant isn’t that far fetched.

    What is with the screaming at the start? Was this filmed at a school yard during recess? Or was there general panic?

      I think it’s a combination of fully realizing they’re complicit in murdering Ukrainian civilians and watching a plane fall onto their workplace.
