This assessment was made on Espreso TV by Anatoliy Khrapchynskyi, deputy general director of a company that manufactures electronic-warfare equipment and an aviation expert.“The Russian-controlled Shahed is not very maneuverable. This drone can strike large targets, but at low speeds. I want to emphasize again that Shaheds can only be controlled at a distance of up to 150 km. Russia is now actively building stationary launch sites around Ukraine and in the temporarily occupied territories because they need a reliable launch system capable of receiving communications and delivering strikes — but only within that 150 km range,” Khrapchynskyi said.The expert added that the UAV can adjust its coordinates or make flight corrections over longer distances, but real-time control is no longer possible.“At the same time, the enemy is implementing a mesh modem system. It’s similar to installing a Wi-Fi router in a large house or office: the main router distributes the signal, while repeaters amplify it in individual rooms. Shaheds can now act as repeaters, with the base station located in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine or on Russian soil. Again, this works only within 150 km. Beyond that distance, the UAV can adjust its coordinates or make some flight corrections, but it cannot operate in real time or in FPV mode,” he explained.On the evening of Friday, October 10, the occupying Russian army launched strike drones on Ukrainian territory. In the Chernihiv region, a drone hit an emergency crew, killing two people and injuring three. In Kherson, Russian troops targeted an ambulance, injuring the driver. In the Odesa region, energy infrastructure was damaged, and one person was injured.
