Ukrainian long-range rocket-drone "Palyanytsia": a new development, not a refinement of the Soviet project

Recently released information about Ukraine's long-range Palyanytsia drone missile confirms that this weapon is an "absolutely new development" and not an upgrade of Soviet designs. One of the specialists who participated in the creation of the rocket-drone told anonymously in an interview with the Associated Press.

According to him, work on the new weapon began about 18 months ago. That is, around February 2023, a year after the invasion.

The rocket is accelerated by a solid propellant booster, and then the jet engine is turned on. Each such missile costs less than a million dollars, and the military is turning to business to further reduce production costs.

"The private market generates solutions incredibly quickly," said Minister of Digital Transformation Fedorov.

He is sure that Ukraine will produce all types of missiles, and the vast territory of the Russian Federation will become its vulnerability.

"It is impossible to develop enough air defense systems to protect such a large area. For us, this opens up an opportunity to operate deep in the rear of the enemy," the minister said.
