Russia Bombards Ukraine With Iranian ‘kamikaze Drones by Yinnchi2(f): 6:17am On Oct 18, 2022
A deluge of extraordinary imagery from Ukraine shows exactly what it’s like when relatively unsophisticated ‘kamikaze drones’ are thrown into battle en masse, striking population centers and critical infrastructure. Today’s Russian drone attacks, using the Iranian-supplied Shahed-136, and perhaps others, have killed at least four people in Kyiv and hit other targets across the country. Desperate scenes show defenders, including soldiers and police officers, and apparently also civilians, taking aim at the incoming drones using assault rifles and other small arms.

“All night and all morning the enemy terrorizes the civilian population,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said on the Telegram messaging app. “Kamikaze drones and missiles are attacking all of Ukraine.”

“The enemy can attack our cities, but it won’t be able to break us,” Zelensky added. “The occupiers will get only fair punishment and condemnation of future generations. And we will get victory.”

The Russian Ministry of Defense described the operation as a “massive” attack on military targets and energy infrastructure across Ukraine that involved the use of “high-precision weapons,” and Russia denied that civilians were targeted.

This is the second wave of major Russian strikes on Ukraine in the space of a week. Compared to last Monday’s raid, however, which involved significant use of cruise and ballistic missiles, today’s airstrikes appear to have been spearheaded by Shahed-136 drones, known to the Russian military as Geran-2.
