Russia has developed a new type of kamikaze drone called Klin, a Shahed-like aircraft with artificial intelligence and a range of over 100 km.
According to the Telegram channel Sonyashnyk, the drone can autonomously detect and strike targets at distances up to 120 km (when a repeater is used) or operate as an “aerial minefield” for approximately 80 minutes.
The takeoff weight is 13.5 kg, and the cruising speed ranges from 108 to 300 km/h. The fuselage length is 1.6 m, and the wingspan is 1.9 m, with a maximum operating altitude of up to 2 km.
The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is equipped with an explosive warhead and can carry a shaped charge or a high-explosive warhead. As seen in the released photos, some components, including the optical module, appear to have been 3D-printed.
Its appearance resembles drones from the Shahed family, a delta-shaped aircraft with no tail, but it also includes canard foreplanes, while the control surfaces are mounted on the upper fuselage.
