A Chinese-made civilian drone, retrofitted and armed for warfare, was shot down by Kiev’s army in eastern Ukraine in the night between Friday and Saturday. This was announced by CNN, which was able to view the wreckage of the unmanned aircraft hit by automatic A-47 weapons.
The drone was a Mugin-5, a commercial UAV made by a Chinese manufacturer based in the port city of Xiamen on China’s east coast. Some tech bloggers say the machines are known as “Alibaba drones” as they were available for sale for around $15,000 on Chinese market websites including Alibaba and Taobao.
Mugin Limited confirmed to CNN that it was their product, calling the incident “deeply unfortunate”. It is the latest example of a civilian drone that has been adapted and weaponized since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Russian forces have bombed four communities in Sumy Oblast, destroying civilian infrastructure. The regional administration reported it, adding that no victims were reported. Moscow soldiers attacked Krasnopillia, Khotyn, Shalyhyne and Novoslobidske communities. Over 160 shots were reported destroying a farm building in Shalyhyne and an office building in Khotyn.
