The Russian occupation forces may have suspended the use of Iranian-made Shahed-136 kamikaze drones to strike Ukrainian infrastructure due to fears that weather conditions will affect their work.. Only after the temperature rose in the south of our state, the invaders decided to resume launches, said the head of the joint press center of the Southern Defense Forces, Natalya Gumenyuk, on the air of the Freedom TV channel..

She explained that the tests of these strike UAVs probably took place in slightly different climatic conditions from ours - in those that are characteristic of the territory of Iran.. Therefore, the pause in their use by the Russian troops may be associated with an attempt to adapt to weather conditions..

“Including, they were most worried about, probably, aerodynamics, the likelihood of glaciation in the event of temperature changes, which could affect flight performance.. Now the temperature in the south of Ukraine is positive, therefore, most likely, more or less favorable conditions for them. And thus (Russians - ed.. ) launched the party again,” said Gumenyuk.
