Zelensky has revealed a number of details about the Palyanitsya drone-rocket project, which he announced today during his speech on the Maidan

"The missile program of Ukraine includes a project called "Palyanytsya". The project currently includes three products: the test of the first element was positive. I congratulated our country on this," Zelensky said during a press briefing.

"This is a drone missile, which is much faster than our long-range drones. And more powerful. These are all the details about which I am ready for an open conversation," Zelensky added.

"The main thing is that people work. 24/7. They promised long-range drones - they did it. 1,500 km. And that's a lot. And now drone-rockets are appearing. And there will be other rockets. Very powerful. And very long-range," he noted.

During the two and a half years of full-scale war, Russia fired about 10,000 missiles of various types and more than 33,000 anti-aircraft missiles at Ukraine. Attacks on our cities can be stopped by strikes on the carriers of these weapons - Russian planes at military airfields.ย 

Yesterday, the first successful combat use of our new weapon took place - the Ukrainian long-range missile-drone "Palyanytsia". Developed in-house to destroy the offensive potential of the enemy.

There will be more missile drones, just as our long-range strike drones have increased, the results of which we see almost every day.

Woah that looks cool af!!! What's the difference between this and a cruise missile though? Longer range but slow because of increased lift due to the wings?
