Russia deploys Susanin kamikaze drone with terrain-following navigation in Ukraine

Reports describe a new Russian kamikaze drone, 'Susanin', that navigates at 280 mph using a ground-facing camera and preloaded satellite imagery (e.g., Google Earth) for terrain-following flight, making it difficult to intercept. The system's operational status and effectiveness are unverified, but it represents a potential evolution in drone warfare that could challenge existing air defenses.
