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.

If they gain height and at destination dive on target it will be increasingly difficult to take them down. And even if you do, debris will continue trajectory towards target.
