Kamikaze drones fly at 185 kilometers per hour and have a range of almost 2,000 kilometers: they are small, portable and can be launched easily, but their main advantage is that they are difficult to detect and can be launched from a distance.

The Russian military’s missile and drone attack “hit critical infrastructure in the Kiev, Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy regions,” Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyal explained.
