Ukrainian UAV warhead (possibly inspired by the Shahed-131 warheads) has multiple shallow copper funnels for forming EFPs (Explosively Formed Projectiles). Two EDP-r detonators and a capacitor, visible. – The plywood box weighed about 3kg.
That does not look very efficient, if it works at all. EFPs need a specific charge design behind them to forge (the “F” in “EFP”). They are also only viable when aimed; they are not area weapons. SFPs are usually contain at least 0.5kg of copper, each, so the reported “3kg weight” is complete BS. See the NLAW, BLU-108/B (“skeets”) and St. Javelin, the protector of the righteous for warhead details.
This looks like agitprop if coming from the Russians. I’ve noticed a lot of spam posts in this forum lately. Things must be getting bad on the RU side.
I applaud the woodworker
I hope they found a decent copper supplier.
Are these used on Russian oil facilities? Don’t they form a copper jet that penetrates just about anything metallic? This thing looks harmless enough. It seems most people don’t understand what’s really happening to the Ukraine or Russia MIC.

Ah yes, the glorious EFP. My 1151 ate one back in 2007, was no bueno. Would put like 6 of them in foam and make it look like a rock.
Why so many EFPs and why on different faces? Just for options?
Makes me give my Klipsch speakers some side eye….
How many EFP’s should we put on this thing? Y…
Base uppermost with some edges ground down for cable ties!
I dub thee, BOOMBOX!
You can do the same with some wine glasses.

Fuck everyone in every direction.
