Russia and Iran have a lot of cooperation in the field of defense, and the Witness 136 UAV currently used by Russia on the battlefield is also a type of UAV authorized by Iran, which is also called "air motorcycle", this UAV is also called "air motorcycle", this is because this UAV uses a piston engine, and the cost is extremely low, and it is quite difficult to use air defense systems to intercept. Judging from the basic materials of this UAV, a large number of plywood materials are used, and plywood materials are not easy to be detected by radar, and Russia has continuously created a lot of actual combat results when using the Witness 136 UAV. Previously, Russia had used as many as 99 drones to carry out penetration strikes on targets in Ukraine during the same day. In retaliation against Russia, Ukraine today has used Middle Eastern tactics. According to information disclosed by the media, Ukraine launched a long-range attack operation, using a suicide drone to strike a drone factory on Russian territory.
In the past, most of the most frequent attacks in Russia were targets located in Bilgorod, and from a geographical point of view, Bilgorod Oblast is close to Ukraine, and it is very reasonable for some of the Ukrainian army's smaller UAVs to be able to strike at their targets, but this time, Ukraine's drones penetrated as much as 1,200 kilometers, becoming the longest distance bombing operation in Ukraine since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in 2022. The reason why Ukraine's drone can complete a flight of 1200 kilometers is because this is not a drone at all, but an unmanned aircraft converted from a Cessna light aircraft, and it is not difficult to convert some manned aircraft into drones, Ukraine has carried out many modifications, and even carried out such modifications on the An-2 transport aircraft.
Compared with drones, which are based on Cessna light aircraft, they also have a larger range and payload, and when they are loaded with explosives, they can not only fly into the heart of Russia, but also cause damage through huge explosive force. There have always been a large number of bomb attacks in the Middle East, including self-detonating trucks, and the war research believes that this tactic is actually the Middle East tactic used by Ukraine.
This tactical use in the Middle East, in addition to giving Russia a headache in the process of interception, is also very serious about the damage to Russia's neighboring targets. Compared to a large number of military aircraft, Cessna light aircraft are very easy to obtain, and there are many used Cessna aircraft around the world, and some aviation schools will retire older Cessna light aircraft after completing training. The war research believes that if Ukraine collects a large number of second-hand Cessna aircraft, it can also achieve a low-cost strike, and even this kind of strike is more difficult to detect than a missile attack.
Ukraine has used drones to strike at Russia's drone factories, and the war research believes that such a blow is more of a headache for Russia than destroying Russia's missile production line. Russia has already tasted the sweetness of the use of suicide drones,. The success rate of these suicide drones is very high, and the cost is much lower than that of cruise missiles, which has gradually become the main weapon used by Russia on the battlefield, and Russia's production line has just been stably supplied to the front line when it was hit by Ukraine, which is obvious, it will affect Russia's future rhythm on the battlefield.
