Lots of DIY kamikaze drones are being manufactured by Ukrainians.

Leo1A5 going to UA. We can probably consider these to be FSV?

I suspect they'll be used as MBTs.

well, let's define what that actually means? As far as I  can see, most tanks in .ua get used as FSVs. Most MBTs do not get killed by other MBTs. And given 70mm frontal armour, I'd not care to  pitch Leo1s (and T6x) against MBTs.

The Ukrainians would probably rather use a Leo 1 than try to  hope a BMP will use its missiles to kill tanks. Maybe try to use it where they won't be guaranteed to go against the most modern T-72s, but I wouldn't be surprised if that fails.

Great look at the Shaheeds warhead design. First time I've seen such a design.

Believed warheads being optimized for targeting infrastructure due to the design.

This warhead configuration is found on at least a couple of anti-ship missiles, including the Chinese C802 that Iran has Reverse-engineered as the Noor.  I recall seeing a South African proposal for this type of warhead in the Skorpion (Gabriel) as well, and there are some reports that the German Kormoran looks very similar.

Also very similar to the Roland SAM Warhead.
