Russians use jet-powered drone for first time with payload designed to destroy power lines – “Flash”

Ukrinform reports this, citing presidential freelance adviser Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov in a Telegram post. “Bad news. Today, the enemy used a special cumulative-cutting payload on a jet-powered UAV for the first time (KRSN),” Beskrestnov said. The payload was specifically designed to destroy high-voltage transmission towers and steel bridge structures, the post reads. The KRSN consists of a 40-kg main warhead and four impact modules. “I think the enemy plans to attack important high-voltage power transmission lines,” Beskrestnov added. As previously reported by Ukrinform, emergency power outages have been introduced in Kyiv.
