Antenna-free Molniya variant with fully autonomous AI guidance confirmed in Zaporizhia

Published

A Molniya drone variant carrying only a camera and onboard computer — with no external control antenna — has been confirmed in Russian combat use on the Zaporizhia axis. Ukrainian EW expert Serhiy ‘Flash’ Beskrestnov flagged the development, noting that comparable antenna-free autonomous guidance had previously been observed only on other platform types. Wreckage imagery corroborates the configuration, and Russian milbloggers report the variant is being employed at scale in the sector.
