The Australian-produced UAV has been credited with last week's attack on Russian aircraft at a base in Kursk.
A new video has emerged showing the demonstration of a new"cardboard" drone reportedly being used by Ukrainian forces to hit targets inside Russia, as Kyiv intensifies its long-range strike campaign.
The video included a view shot from the drone as it arrived above the target, before exploding and spraying the area below with a large number of projectiles. The drones, Butusov wrote,"now pose a deadly threat to Russian aircraft."

Though Ukraine has not confirmed the use of the SYPAQ drones, Ukraine's Ambassador to Australia Vasyl Myroshnychenko wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter:"Cardboard drones from Australia used in attack on Russian airfield."
