Hazard

The GUR pointed out that the Hazard system includes:

• Ten kamikaze drones
• Launch equipment
• Control panel

According to intelligence, the drone’s design is made from composite materials, which allows it to remain invisible to enemy electronic warfare (EW) systems. Additionally, the drone operates silently, ensuring maximum stealth.

These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can cover considerable distances and can be equipped with warheads of varying power to destroy enemy targets.

Drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Drones are one of the key types of weaponry used by Ukrainian defenders in the war against Russian forces.

Ukrainian defenders are receiving assistance with drones from Western partners. Recently, it was announced that Germany will transfer mini-Taurus drones to Ukrainian defenders.

The range of these German drones is approximately 100 kilometers, and they are capable of destroying enemy armored vehicles, among other targets.

Russia has decided to attack civilians in Kyiv on New Year’s Eve. It must be brought to justice, stated Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský.

He emphasized that the New Year is a time of peace and hope, but “Russia chose violence, attacking Kyiv and claiming an innocent life”.

“So, here’s my resolution: Czech diplomacy will continue to stand firmly with Ukrainians – because peace begins with holding the aggressor accountable,” Lipavský concluded.

A strike on Kyiv

On the night of January 1, the Russian forces attacked Kyiv with the help of Shahed kamikaze drones.

According to the up-to-date information, two people were killed in the capital by drone strikes. At the same time, seven people were injured, including two pregnant women.

The head of the Office of the President of Ukraine emphasized that the Russian army used at least four Shahed drones to attack residential buildings in the center of Kyiv.

In total, Russian forces used 111 kamikaze drones to attack Ukraine on New Year’s Eve. Read more about the consequences in the material by RBC-Ukraine.
