Earlier, it was reported that three Ukrainian kamikaze drones hit Russian targets at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant facility in Energodar. The reactors of the nuclear power plant were undamaged and the radiation background was normal.
The head of the Russian-backed Zaporizhia Oblast occupation government, Vladimir Rogov, claimed that Ukrainian “terrorists”, possibly referring to the Ukrainian military, attacked the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant with kamikaze UAVs, which had high accuracy and no risk of damage to the Zaporizhzhia NPP nuclear reactor.
Warmate is a type of munitions developed by the Polish company WB Electronics. A loitering bomb is a type of weapon system in which bombs and bullets fly around the target area for a period of time, searching for a target and attacking once the target has been identified. The system is characterized by a lightweight structure and the ability to perform various types of tasks.
The system design allows for installation on vehicles (cars, APCs) and integration of the Ground Control Station and Ground Data Station with the vehicle systems. Warmate is a good alternative to anti-tank guided missiles with the ability to operate in a significantly larger radius, allowing comfortable detection and observation of potential targets for a relatively large period of time ( flight time is about 70 minutes).
