According to information from open sources, the Chernika drone is known for its low cost, has a target acquisition function and a 3.5 kg warhead.
It flies at a cruising speed of 75 km/h and can cover a distance of up to 80 km at an altitude of no more than 1.5 km.
The mayor of Kharkov said that over the past seven days, explosions have been heard in the Nemyshlyansky, Kievsky and Industrial districts of the city – residential buildings and civilian enterprises have been damaged.
The attacks left four people injured, including a child, but fortunately there were no casualties.
