According to russian media, analysts specializing in unmanned aviation suggest that the russian occupation army might soon adopt a new tactic involving the use of “loitering munitions or kamikaze drones that can interact with each other on the battlefield”. The report indicates that while specific details about these plans remain undisclosed, there is an expectation for the deployment of groups of loitering munitions operating in coordination, essentially forming a swarm. While this concept isn’t novel, it underscores ongoing efforts to enhance these capabilities.
The report mentions the involvement of existing models such as Lancet, Kub and SuperCam, which are already in active use by the russian army. It also contrasts the current state of drone utilization, where the maximum level of interaction typically involves reconnaissance drones paired with repeaters to support drones in target destruction.
