Kyiv forensic experts have received the wreckage of a Shahed drone used in the November 25 attack on Ukraine. Preliminary analysis has shown that the drones are now black rather than light gray, possibly to avoid visual detection at night. Further research will be conducted on the paint and design features.
Specialists of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise have already received the wreckage of the Shaheds used by Russia to attack Ukraine on the night of November 25. Explosive, computer-technical and material and product analysis tests are planned. This was reported by Oleksandr Ruvin of Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise, according to UNN.

According to Ruvin, the peculiarity of these drones is that the backgrounds are painted black.
A characteristic visual feature of the "new" UAVs is black. Based on the results of a preliminary inspection of specific objects, we can already say that there is no question of any innovation, new production technologies or special coating of the aircraft. There is a change in the color of the exterior of the Shahed-136 from light gray to black. According to the enemy, this should make it harder to detect at night. The internal elements have the same coloring as the previous objects of research of the corresponding type. Most likely, the coloring was done in a handicraft way, very similar to the use of aerosol products
The director of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise emphasized that it is too early to talk about large-scale changes in the overall production process of "Shahed".
"These are only the first samples of black UAVs. The final data on the substances used for coloring and all the features of the weapon will be known after the necessary research. The experts of Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise will provide law enforcement agencies with the most detailed information," Ruvin added.
