This new weapon will cause havoc in the Russian camp

Since the beginning of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, drone attacks have become part of daily life for both sides of the conflict. Cheap and formidable drones can wreak havoc, depending on their capabilities and the model used. New weapons sent to Ukraine by the United States could well pose a solid threat to Putin's forces.

Géo magazine and Midi Libre report that Kiev will soon receive new, more dangerous models of drones developed by an American company. 

US weapons company Feloni Aero has just announced that the Felon X and Felon 1.0 drones are now available on the market. These unique devices are equipped with a machine gun and an automatic weapon with a calibre of 5.56 mm. According to Feloni Aero, this new model is a "revolutionary fusion of air superiority and lethal precision for military and police use", reports Midi Libre. This means it can accurately target very distant targets.  

Other strengths? The drones are "enhanced with artificial intelligence" to detect any anti-drone devices, says Géo. They can also carry explosive charges and work with advanced technology, allowing them to identify and detect flying objects from the other side. This technology is characterised by "a radar that accurately detects other devices".
