Moscow's new weapon — Iranian supplied drones which could possibly mark the dawn of a new kind of warfare in Ukraine.
On Wednesday, kamikaze drones launched by Russia, and forced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to convene an emergency meeting to avoid what he called a"breakdown of [Ukraine's] energy system."
Retired U.S. Gen. Frank McKenzie, who was at one point in charge of all U.S. forces in the Middle East, said the 11-foot-by-8-foot drone carries a relatively small 90-pound warhead that is powerful enough to destroy transformer yards. Rescue workers inspect a building destroyed by Russian drone strikes as they continue their field work following the wave of Russia's attacks in Kyiv, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine on Oct. 18, 2022. Local authorities reported airstrikes in Ukraine's capital Kyiv on Tuesday morning, as a wave of drone and missile strikes on the country's capital and other cities continued its second week.
