Russia unleashes new deadly “Blueberry” drones with 100-kilometer reach on Kharkiv

Russia deploys new deadly drones in its war against Ukraine. Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov reveals that Moscow forces have used a new type of drone, “Chernika” or “Blueberry,” in the city for the first time.

These drones have a maximum strike range of 80–100 km, a cruising speed of 75 km/h, and carry a warhead weighing up to 3.5 kg. They are launched from catapults or by hand, targeting vehicles, infantry, bunkers, and heavy equipment.

Russia already has over 11,000 of these drones in two models: Chernika-1 and the more powerful Chernika-2. This new weapon is comparable in destructive power to the Molniya drone but has a different design. In the latest strike, several cars were damaged in a garage cooperative, Defense Express reports.

Ukrainian anti-air FPV drones have effectively countered the dangerous Chernika-2, shooting down three of these drones so far. However, due to their reliance on communication links, these drones remain vulnerable to electronic warfare systems, which Russia also actively employs.

Still, most of the Russian attacks on Kharkiv are carried out by Shahed drones.

Over the past week, four people have been injured in these strikes, including a child. Explosions were recorded in the Nemishlyansky, Kyivsky, and Industrial districts, causing damage to residential buildings and civilian enterprises.

The duration of air raid alerts in Kharkiv was 33 hours less than the regional average, emphasizes Terekhov. This is the result of coordinated efforts by the military, air defense forces, and analysts at the Situational Center.
