 Kalashnikov concern showing ZALA 421-24 UAV, looks like they are following use of DJI birds in Ukraine

Given how large the rotors are for given size of the drone its likely very quiet , but its always a compromise , smaller props are much less wind sensitive but also much noisier.

Shahed-136 hitting something in Odessa

 

 

Result:

Also not far from Odessa city, in the sea, parts of Mohajer-6 looking drone were found, so i guess it was used for observation of results.

 

Claims are than Shahed-136 in the nose have some sort of IR seeker, and in IR spectrum nose cone of drone is transparent, although it also can be radar seeker.

Mohajer-6 that was found in Black sea during those recent-ish strikes on Odessa, was armed with Ghaem-1 TV guided bombs. Hardpoints indicate that up to 4 bombs were carried on that UAV.

Weird, TV guided munitions aren't really common on drones. I know the Qaem missiles have a laser guided version, I wonder why the TV version was chosen by Russia.

 

Also, you mentioned that this was found in the black sea, who recovered it?
