Ukrainian developers announced a successful test of the latest Shahed drone fighter

Ukrainian developers, together with the military, are conducting a combat test of the Vatra drone, designed to intercept Russian Shahed kamikaze drones.

"They raised "Vatra" for almost seven kilometers. This will make it possible to destroy Shahid Yaks flying at a height of 3−4 km», — said team leader Volodymyr Yatsenko.

It is reported that «Vatra» — it is an FPV-type unmanned fighter, that is, the operator must control it in real-time mode, receiving video images as if from the first person.
