President of the Heart Movement Zdravko Ponoš posted on social networks on Monday, October 6, a picture of a kamikaze drone, which was found in the yard of a kindergarten on Batajnički Road.
"Gašić, if this didn't work out for you? Maybe you didn't promise," Ponoš wrote.
Military analyst Aleksandar Radić told Nova.rs that the missile was actually a kamikaze drone with an inert mortar mine. This means that it is without explosives.
Commenting on whether and how it was possible for such an aircraft to land, as Ponoš states, near the kindergarten, Radić says that it is possible during the examination of the aircraft's operation.
"They tested how it works, they lost control and that's what happens," Radić said.
The police secured the place where the drone was found, and counter-sabotage teams were also on the ground, Nova.rs learns. Dron was, they add, found under a tree, and on it was a magazine with a projectile without an explosive charge and a lighter.
What is a kamikaze drone?
Also known as a suicide drone, kamikaze drone or exploding drone, a hovering munition has the characteristics of cruise missiles and strike drones. It differs from cruise missiles in that they are designed to roam around the target area for a relatively long time, and from strike drones in that the cruise munition is intended to be expended (self-destruct) in attack and has an embedded warhead. As such, it can also be considered a ranged weapon.
Stray munitions first appeared in the 1980s, when they were given the role of combating enemy anti-aircraft defenses.
