Russian media reported on the demonstration of a new kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicle called \u00abWedge\u00bb<\/strong>, which is claimed to be equipped with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead<\/strong>. \u00abThe high-explosive warhead significantly increases the destructive effect: the combination of blast wave and fragmentation poses a serious threat to people and equipment<\/em>\u00bb, military analysts say.<\/p>\n Shrapnel from such warheads can fly over long distances and at high speeds, causing penetrating wounds<\/strong>. Even if the main target is military infrastructure, the use of high-explosive munitions increases the risks to civilians and rescue services.<\/p>\n The use of weapons with a wide area of effect is always subject to international norms and assessments of proportionality and the distinction between military and civilian targets. \u00abWedge\u00bb<\/strong> - is a name that has been spread by the Russian media as a new model of kamikaze UAV with a high-explosive warhead.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Shrapnel warheads increase the area of damage and increase mortality and injuries among civilians.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n In the case of such systems, the key is to maintain the safety of civilians and rescuers' access to the affected areas.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u0417\u0430 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0456\u0434\u043e\u043c\u043b\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f\u043c\u0438 \u0440\u043e\u0441\u0417\u041c\u0406, \u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u043c\u043e\u0434\u0435\u043b\u044c \u043e\u0441\u043d\u0430\u0449\u0435\u043d\u0430 \u0431\u043e\u0454\u043f\u0440\u0438\u043f\u0430\u0441\u043e\u043c, \u0449\u043e \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0438\u043b\u044e\u0454 \u0443\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0432\u0456\u0434 \u0432\u0438\u0431\u0443\u0445\u0443 \u0420\u043e\u0441\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0456 \u043c\u0435\u0434\u0456\u0430 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0456\u0434\u043e\u043c\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0434\u0435\u043c\u043e\u043d\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0446\u0456\u044e \u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0431\u0435\u0437\u043f\u0456\u043b\u043e\u0442\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043b\u0456\u0442\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0430\u043f\u0430\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0430-\u043a\u0430\u043c\u0456\u043a\u0430\u0434\u0437\u0435 \u043f\u0456\u0434 \u043d\u0430\u0437\u0432\u043e\u044e \u00ab\u041a\u043b\u0438\u043d\u00bb, \u044f\u043a\u0438\u0439, \u0437\u0430 \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u0430\u043c\u0438, \u043e\u0441\u043d\u0430\u0449\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u043e\u0441\u043a\u043e\u043b\u043a\u043e\u0432\u043e-\u0444\u0443\u0433\u0430\u0441\u043d\u043e\u044e \u0431\u043e\u0439\u043e\u0432\u043e\u044e \u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043d\u043e\u044e (\u0411\u0427).\u0422\u0430\u043a\u0456 \u0431\u043e\u0454\u043f\u0440\u0438\u043f\u0430\u0441\u0438 \u043f\u043e\u0454\u0434\u043d\u0443\u044e\u0442\u044c \u0443\u0434\u0430\u0440\u043d\u0443 \u0445\u0432\u0438\u043b\u044e \u0432\u0438\u0431\u0443\u0445\u0443 \u0439 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u043b\u0456\u0442 \u043c\u0435\u0442\u0430\u043b\u0435\u0432\u0438\u0445 \u0443\u043b\u0430\u043c\u043a\u0456\u0432, \u0449\u043e \u0437\u043d\u0430\u0447\u043d\u043e \u0437\u0431\u0456\u043b\u044c\u0448\u0443\u0454 \u0448\u043a\u043e\u0434\u0443 \u043f\u0440\u0438 \u0443\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0456 \u0436\u0438\u0432\u043e\u0457 \u0441\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u0442\u0430 \u0456\u043d\u0444\u0440\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0443\u043a\u0442\u0443\u0440\u0438. \u00ab\u041e\u0441\u043a\u043e\u043b\u043a\u043e\u0432\u043e-\u0444\u0443\u0433\u0430\u0441\u043d\u0430 \u0431\u043e\u0454\u0433\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043a\u0430 \u0441\u0443\u0442\u0442\u0454\u0432\u043e \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0432\u0438\u0449\u0443\u0454 [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":1989,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u0411\u041f\u041b\u0410","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805620],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1988","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-science-tech"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1988"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1990,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988\/revisions\/1990"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
