As said design flaw with the fusing, as with most kamikaze drones users found in practice that you are not getting perfect impact every time so they have been adding secondary fuses and lidar fuses or in case of FPV servo manual command fuses

As reported earlier, South Korea may end up becoming one of the biggest winners of the war.
