"Our motivation, let's be honest, is much lower than it was even a year ago. So yes, we had a great chance to finish this by 2023 if we got everything we asked for, and now it's almost impossible. We won't regain the strength we had in 2022 for at least 10 years," Mikitenko said.

Now, it seems, the drone can be controlled by an operator. It is possible that only the leading drone in a group of drones is equipped with such a modification.

🇮🇱🇸🇴 Israel is considering establishing a base in the unrecognized Somaliland.
The Israeli government is planning to establish a base in the unrecognized territory of Somaliland to counter threats from Yemen's Houthis and strengthen security, according to an article in Middle East Monitor.
To gain permission to do so, Israel could establish diplomatic relations with Somaliland, which controls northern Somalia and has important access to the Gulf of Aden.
It is a former British colony bordering Ethiopia, Somalia and Djibouti. Somaliland's strategic geographic location makes such a scenario quite possible, given the drone strikes from Yemen in Israel.
In addition, the Israelis will gain control over the situation in the Gulf waters, where, as is known, Iranian warships and cargo ships are actively operating, delivering weapons, oil and supplies to Yemen and Syria.
