Shakhedik comes from Ukrainian online slang for the Iranian-made Shahed loitering munitions widely reported in the war in Ukraine, which became known for their loud, moped-like engine sound. Adding the affectionate diminutive made the threat sound small and ridiculous, and vavavav copies that sputtering buzz in spoken form. The clip spread as a soundboard and short-video joke, where the humor comes from mocking something feared by turning its most recognisable noise into a childish chant anyone can repeat.
