Ukraine’s first Shahed‑107 kill exposes Iran drone’s combat failure | Russia

​Ukraine claimed its first shootdown of Russia’s newly deployed Shahed‑107 kamikaze drone, marking a dramatic debut failure for Iran’s latest unmanned export to Moscow. The interception occurred on December 30, when Ukraine’s 47th “Magura” Brigade’s “Wild Hornets” air defence unit used a low-cost Sting interceptor drone equipped with Hornet Vision thermal imaging to destroy the Shahed‑107 mid‑air. Built by Iranian engineers to combine reconnaissance and attack capabilities, the Shahed‑107 reportedly features an 8–9 kg warhead, real‑time video link, and anti‑jamming navigation—but footage released by Ukraine shows its fiery downfall.
