Russia is likely preparing to launch its largest strike to date using thousands of kamikaze drones. According to Reuters, an operation could be carried out in the coming months that would use new versions of the Harpia-A1 drones to attack strategically important targets in Ukraine.

According to information from the agency's sources, Russian forces intend to use improved versions of the kamikaze drones, created on the basis of the well-known Geran-2. The new version of the drones is equipped with more modern internal combustion engines and an improved inertial navigation system (INS). In addition, the design of the drones includes interference-resistant antennas for the GLONASS and GPS correction systems, which significantly increases their accuracy and effectiveness even in conditions of active counteraction by electronic warfare.

One of the key features of the new version of the Harpia-A1 is the introduction of optical-electronic correlation sensors, which allow drones to more accurately identify targets in conditions of interference and camouflage. This makes drones more independent in choosing targets and makes it more difficult for the enemy to detect them.
