A Russian “Chernika-2” (Черніка-2; Blueberry-2) kamikaze UAV was recovered that apparently has autonomous terminal targeting capability.
This cheap foam and plastic UAV has a 100km range and carries a formidable 3.5kg warhead.
1/ Image
The capabilities of this drone are roughly similar to the Russian “Molniya-2”, in particular the warhead capacity.
A Russian KZ-6 shaped-charge 3kg demolition device has been frequently used as a warhead for the Molniya, or equivalent such as the KOBCh-2.5.
2/ Image
Image
Chernika-2 apparently also has an autopilot function to a specific target area, so the operator doesn't need to constantly control it.
The terminal strike stage of the flight can be controlled by the operator, or handed off to the targeting algorithms if jamming is present.

A Ukrainian company called UADamage has developed a machine-learning drone that uses four different sensors to detect landmines.
With day and infrared cameras, a magnetometer, and a ground penetrating radar (in development), up to 10,000 square meters can surveyed in a day.
1/ Image
The system is trained with machine learning algorithms to automatically detect explosive objects by analyzing magnetic field maps, combined with the use of a magnetometer.
2/ Image
The flash drive is removed after each flight and inserted in a computer.
The sensor data is then fused into a single map of the surveyed area.

Further information has been released regarding the downed Shahed-136s with imaging guidance and AI capabilities.
Details of materials and electronic components indicate Iranian fabrication.
The camera is an analog thermal imager for both reconnaissance and terrain following.
1/ Image
The NVIDIA Jetson Orin AI board is specialized for both video processing tasks and AI.
Information from the camera is compared to stored models to select a target in autonomous mode, or stored maps for terrain following.
Each system is intended to defeat Ukrainian GPS jamming.
2/ Image
Another jam resistant component is a CRPA satellite navigation system, in this sample a 4-element antenna connected to the Iranian “Nasir” GPS.
This system is capable of receiving satellite signals in both the L1 and highly accurate L5 bands.

“Drone war is not the future, it is yesterday.”
A Russian blogger gives advice on surviving under the constant gaze of Mavic drones.

“How to survive under the ‘bird’: the fight against small surveillance UAVs.
1/ Image
“Where there is Mavic, there is death. This is not a joke, but the everyday reality of the front. Small enemy reconnaissance aircraft fly without days off or holidays. Here's how not to become a meatball in their reports.
2/
“1. A drone detector is a soldier's best friend
A group must have at least one, or better yet, a pair of devices like ‘Bulat’. Cheaper than a death notice. Constant air monitoring is a rule of survival.

Ukrainian fortifications have changed greatly from battalion defense areas with huge strongholds that were used at the beginning of the war.
General Syrskyi explained that after the experiences of the defense of Bakhmut the army moved to company strongholds, then platoon ones.
1/ Image
In an interview Syrskyi said:
“Now we see that the most effective position is the maximum for the separation. And mostly these are groups of trenches, even the so-called "fox burrows", which make it impossible for the enemy to use strike drones.
2/ Image
“After all, now the drone, especially on the optical fiber, can penetrate into any crack.

An experienced Russian sniper explains the dramatic changes for snipers brought about by drones.

“Complete destruction of ‘invisibility.’
Previously, a sniper could lie under camouflage for hours, blending into the terrain and being virtually invisible to ground infantry
1/
“Now even the most experienced sniper is a target for an ordinary quadcopter with a good camera and thermal imager.
Drones with thermal imagers see through bushes, grass, smoke and light cover.
2/
“The lifespan of a position has been dramatically reduced.
It doesn't matter how quietly you work now: if someone notices the sound of a shot, they immediately raise a copter or a swarm bundle (several drones at once).
