A batch of Gusenitsa universal warheads for strike drones is ready and will soon go to the front, Alexei Chadaev, head of the Russian research and production centre Ushkuynik, wrote on Telegram. He said full production would start after feedback on the batch.

According to the developer, the charge can be set from 500 grams to four kilograms and is built from ready-made blocks of fragments in different shapes. A mechanical safety pin is meant to prevent detonation during assembly, and the warhead is armed from the drone operator's controller or by a timer.

The developer also plans a shaped-charge version for use against vehicles.
