It was part of a sustained barrage of both fpv and bomber drones that tried and failed to take out his position. This actual drone was taken down by EW Jammers that overwhelm the comms of the drone and cause it to crash. The internals of the drone are quite intact although not functional, and a lot of the working parts have been removed already.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFPV (First Person View) loitering munition\u003c\/b\u003e, identified as a \u003cb\u003eRussian \"VT-40\" (also known as \"Sudny Den\" or \"Judgment Day\")\u003c\/b\u003ekamikaze drone.
