00:30...and has a range of less than 5 km.
00:32Unlike a missile, YOLCA drones carry no explosive warhead.
00:36They destroy their target through direct impact, a so-called kinetic kill.
00:41So, if the YOLCA has no explosive warhead, how does the target appear to explode in this video?
00:46In reality, the blast is more likely caused by the drone itself.
00:50That is also a potential weakness.
00:52David Bacci, a senior researcher in aerodynamics at the University of Oxford,
00:57says that systems relying on direct impact can be less effective against larger or more robust targets.
01:03Ukraine has comparable systems, including the Sting, designed to intercept Shahed-type attack drones.
01:09And according to research engineer Hyt de Kuber,
01:12these interceptors may be cheap, but they are not always reliable.
01:16Both sides also rely on many of the same components, making crucial drone parts harder to source.
01:21The video was filmed by the Vaha battalion, a subunit of Spetsnaz Akhmat,
01:26which is under the command of the Russian Defense Ministry,
01:28and made up of volunteers from Chichinia and personal train at the Russian University of Spetsnaz.
01:34An expert told us that Akhmat subunits are typically named after their commanders,
01:38with Vaha likely serving as a call sign.
01:41He added that the unit had been deployed to the Kharitie front in northeastern Ukraine,
01:45near the Russian border.
