the drone Boomerang it was included in the arsenal of weapons used by the Russian army to fight the war in Ukraine. It’s a small device capable of carrying an explosive charge and operated with virtual reality goggles.

The flying object can move upwards 170 kilometers per hour and it has greater reach in the infrastructures it targets.

“The Boomerang is a simple sports drone with four rotors, four small motors and a huge battery. The main feature is the kamikaze drone carries a special container filled with shocking items and filled with explosives and a detonator”, declared the Russian Ministry of Defense when announcing the deployment of the drone.

“During the special military operation, the UAV units of the Airborne Force are actively deployed small Boomerang FPV quadcopters for attacking Ukrainian army positionsthe entity added.

Since the Boomerang does not have a satellite communication module, anti-drone electronic means are not effective against it. These models are short range, ideal for the front lines.

“Compared to standard quadcopters, the Boomerang lacks a satellite communication module. Anti-drone cannons can’t do anything against Boomerangs. An operator steers the drone at a minimum height, just above the treetops,” the ministry said.

Ukraine’s continued drone strikes have strengthened its air defense system, something Russia is willing to break through with the use of the Boomerang.
