Russian Shahed-type drones have started changing their behavior during attacks, in particular maneuvering when Ukrainian interceptor drones approach, likely due to the use of cameras.

According to Ukrinform, Defense Ministry advisor Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov stated this on Telegram.

"We see that Shaheds have begun to maneuver when our interceptor drones approach," he said.

According to Beskrestnov, there is a possibility that the system operates based on a camera, an image of which he published in his post.
