China may start supplying kamikaze drones to Russia

Russia is in talks with Xi’an Bingo Intelligent Aviation Technology, a Chinese drone manufacturer, to mass-produce kamikaze drones.

According to sources, Bingo has agreed to manufacture and test 100 ZT-180 drone prototypes before delivering them to the Russian Defense Ministry by April 2023. Military experts believe that the drone is capable of carrying a warhead weighing between 35 and 50 kilograms.

There are speculations that the design of the unmanned aerial vehicle may be similar to the Iranian Shaheed 136 kamikaze drone. It is also reported that Bingo plans to provide Russia with components and information so that the Russian Federation can independently produce about 100 drones per month.
