> It was clarified that it flew at an extremely low altitude of 20-30 meters, strongly suggesting that it was most likely a kamikaze drone.
> It appears to be a UAV with a wingspan of over 4 meters, tail fins on beams, a pusher propeller, and a square-profile fuselage.
> It may be noted that it resembles the russian ZALA 421-20, which has some similar features. However, this UAV belongs to the reconnaissance category and would be unlikely to fly at such a low altitude. Moreover, drones of this type are not widespread and are unlikely to still be in production, as ZALA began promoting this drone in the early 2010s, and it no longer appears in the company’s product catalog.
It is not a Zala. Might be made by the same factory but fusalage and tail mounting points different. Antenna mount different and cover over fusalage by wing area.
