The capital of Ukraine Kiev has once again entered a situation where air defense alarms have continued to sound on the 10th, because Russia has started a new round of long-range air strikes. In addition to the large-scale use of KH-101 and 3M-54 cruise missiles , the Russian army also frequently dispatched the "Witness" 136 drone introduced from Iran . The so-called "Witness" 136 drone is a suicide drone powered by a piston engine. Its appearance is very similar to the Habi drone developed by Israeli , but the model of Iran is a circle larger than that of Israeli Habi drone, so it also brings the effect of increasing the charge, thus making the "Witness" 136 drone powerful.
Every morning, the Iranian drone dispatched by the Russian army became the "wake-up number" of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. As the buzzing sound came, there would be a loud bang. The huge explosion of "Witness" 136 woke many people in Kiev from their sleep. The "Witness" 136 UAV developed by Iran is a weapon that uses inertia and GPS/GLONAS combined navigation guidance, so it has extremely high accuracy. The "Witness" 136 penetrates through an ultra-low-altitude mode. Therefore, when it was discovered, Ukraine did not have much time to counterattack. Although it is driven by propeller, the "Witness" 136 actually has a low flight speed, so it has the nickname of "Iranian motorcycle".
Ukrainian military and police were quite surprised by the Russian army's dispatch of "Witness" 136 drone to strike important Ukrainian targets. According to news released by French media, Ukrainian police staged a scene of using automatic rifle to shoot "Witness" 136 drone in the air on October 17. However, the Ukrainian police's shooting caused chaos for a short time, because under normal circumstances, there will be no gunshots in Kiev, the capital of Ukrainian, unless Russian troops enter the city of Kiev, so the actions of Ukrainian police are inevitable. It is futile for Ukrainian police to use automatic rifles to strike the "Witness" 136 drone in the air. Because of its height, the target will be relatively small.
Although Ukrainian police tried to shoot down the "Witness" 136 drone through intensive fire from automatic rifles, the "Witness" 136 drone still hit the target on the established route, followed by a loud bang. 202210211/Global Defense Observation/Ali, was also on the 17th. Another TV station unexpectedly "live" the scene of Ukraine using the portable air defense missile to counterattack "Witness" 136. Although the air defense missile has been launched, the "Witness" 136 drone still swung toward the target. Therefore, a violent explosion scene appeared in the live broadcast screen, which was equivalent to giving Iran's "Witness" 136 drone a "free" advertisement.
Iran provided the "witness" 136 drone to Russia showed prestige for the Russian military's operations, but Iran has never admitted to providing drone products to Russia. A spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry publicly stated on October 17 that Iran has not provided weapons to any party to the conflict, and accused the Western media of spreading relevant news with "political ambitions". Russia has not admitted to purchasing drones from Iran. Recently, the United States also disclosed that Russia has purchased two ballistic missiles from Iran, so it has a new "wake number" for Ukraine.
