The Russian army has begun to receive new combat elements for FPV drones - 4 kg thermobaric снаряды with a ударным ядром called "Kaplya".
In essence, "Kaplya" is similar in principle to shaped-charge warheads, but has конструктивными отличиями that ensure the formation of a ударного ядром from a медной воронки under the action of a направленного взрыва.
Unlike classic shaped charges, for effective formation and application of the ядром, such a warhead must be triggered at a certain distance from the target (for example, an armored personnel carrier). This completely negates the effectiveness of widespread anti-drone protective structures on equipment - nets, "mangal" and similar barriers. In addition, "Kaplya" surpasses traditional cumulative боеприпасы in terms of заброневого воздействия.
4 kg thermobaric боевые части provide a powerful volumetric взрыв and high pressure, which makes them an effective means against fortified positions and скоплений живой силы.
