 begin quotes:
 
The "Behemoth" (or "Behemot") is a Ukrainian-made, long-range kamikaze drone resembling the Iranian-designed Shahed series. Unveiled by Ukrainian defense manufacturers at the Wild Drones exhibition, it features a heavy tandem warhead system and is built to strike high-value Russian targets deep behind enemy lines.
Key specifications include:
  • Range: Capable of flying up to 300 km to strike targets.
  • Warhead: Carries a heavy 75 kg tandem warhead payload. It features an explosively formed penetrator (EFP) at the front, immediately followed by a thermobaric charge to maximize destruction against reinforced structures or heavy armor.
  • Guidance: Can be operated in First-Person View (FPV) for precision terminal attacks, or flown entirely autonomously on pre-programmed coordinates.
  • Connectivity: Utilizes Starlink communication for low-latency operational control and routing.
