Ukrainian forces have converted a Chinese civilian drone into a deep striker, dubbed the MICH 2000. The drone was used to strike a cargo ship near Novorossiysk. The MICH 2000 resembles Iran's Shahed drone, rather than Ukraine's typical Lyutyi or FP-1 drones.

Why it matters

The conversion of a Chinese drone into a deep striker highlights Ukraine's resourcefulness in adapting available technology for military use, potentially expanding their attack capabilities.
