The Ukrainian miltech project ODIN has announced the successful testing and practical application of the ODIN Antishaheed integrated solution for the successful destruction of enemy Shahed and Gerbera UAVs in the air
I recall seeing drones that look like this that don’t actually have a warhead, they just bash their target out of the air with their own inertia. Do these have warheads?
I would be surprised if they didn’t have a fragmentation warhead in them as it would increase their effectiveness significantly. Even if their primary goal is to bash things, a small fragmentation warhead is still incredibly helpful.
You don’t even need a fragmentation warhead. Eight or ten buckshot 12 gauge shells, arranged in a semi spherical pattern will bring anything in a 100-200m radius down.
