about author A photo of the UAV was posted by a Ukrainian officer on Twitter.
Cyrillic inscriptions are visible on the remains of the device - "M214 Geranium-2". This writes "Mіlіtarniy".
An analysis of the appearance of the elements of the drone wing allows us to assert that the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the first time destroyed the Iranian long-range kamikaze UAV Shahed-136.
At the end of 2021, Iran demonstrated the possibility of salvo launching these loitering munitions from a launcher disguised as a truck container.

There are no exact characteristics of the Iranian Shahed-136 loitering munition, but the West assumes that their effective range can reach up to 2,000 kilometers, the journalists added.
