Men practice attaching a mock bomb to the undercarriage of a Ukrainian-developed unmanned aircraft called “the Punisher UAV” in an open field on the outskirts of Kyiv, Ukraine. While Russia lacks an effective long-range strike drone, Ukraine’s experimentation has produced an array of inexpensive, plastic aircraft, jerry-rigged to drop grenades or other munitions.
Experts such as Justin Bronk from the Royal United Services Institute think tank suggest the drone in the film could have been a commercially available Chinese-made model, the $9,500 Mugin-5, or a copy of it. It has a flying time of up to seven hours, the manufacturers say, and a top speed of 150km/h and could have been adapted to carry an improvised warhead. The payload, the manufacturers say, is 15 to 20 kilograms.
Ukraine continues to decline to take formal responsibility for such attacks, though it does do so sometimes in private. In public the country’s leaders prefer to make knowing comments that are not always subtle. Take Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s statement overnight: “This year, one can literally feel in the air of Crimea that the occupation there is temporary, and Ukraine is returning.”
