Do you know if Baba Yaga is a giant Ukrainian drone that drops bombs at night

In the daytime, Ukraine’s explosive first-person-view drones are everywhere over Krynky. At night, the quad-rotor FPV drones disappear … and Baba Yaga emerges from her lair.

Baba Yaga is a large Ukrainian hexacopter drone with an infrared camera and capacity for a 33-pound rocket warhead. The drone’s name is a reference to a mythical witch.

Hovering over encampments at night, dropping her bombs through tree canopies, Baba Yaga haunts the Russian regiments and brigades trying, and so far failing, to dislodge Ukrainian marines who crossed the Dnipro River in southern Kherson Oblast six weeks ago and seized a bridgehead on the Dnipro’s Russian-held left bank, in Krynky.

It’s fair to say Ukraine’s drone-operators, working in conjunction with electronic-warfare specialists, are the decisive force in the Krynky operation, which has surprised foreign observers and the Russians—and has extended Ukraine’s summer counteroffensive. In other sectors, the counteroffensive ended weeks ago.
