Ukrainian tech expert reveals regions risk from Russian jet-powered Shahed drones with online guidance
Jet-powered Shahed kamikaze drones equipped with online guidance capabilities pose an increased threat to targets within a certain operational zone.

Quote: "At present, these Shahed drones have limitations on their control range due to the characteristics of the technology."
Details: Beskrestnov warned that the areas marked in red on a map he published fall within the potential operational range of these drones. Within this zone, they are capable of striking both moving and stationary targets.
"The red zone is the risk zone," Flash stressed.
He urged owners of warehouses, petrol stations, industrial facilities and other sites to prepare for possible strikes, closely monitor air-raid warnings and ensure shelters are available for staff.
Background:
- Flash said earlier that Russian forces were shifting from launching large-scale Shahed attacks to carrying out more selective strikes, increasingly using jet-powered variants of the drones to attack Ukraine's rear areas.
- Meanwhile, Defence Intelligence of Ukraine has warned that Russian occupation forces have been ordered to intensify drone strikes on civilian infrastructure and vehicles in the frontline and border areas.
