"It will change the rules of the game": Fedorov told how much the rocket-Dron "Palnyan" costs

Mikhail Fedorov emphasized that the territory of the Russian Federation is too large to cover it with air defense systems, and this enables Ukraine to "act deeply in the rear of the enemy. " The cost of one Ukrainian drone "Palyanytsya" is less than $ 1 million, but it will change the rules of the game. The Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mikhail Fedorov said this in an interview with the Associated Press.

"I think it will change the rules of the game because we will be able to strike where Russia does not expect today," Fedorov said. He specified that the next step would be to expand production, in particular through the private sector, to significantly reduce production cost. For security reasons, the Minister has refused to clarify how long the "meadow" or the volume of its production as of now. "If we have such a weapon, we will feel more independent and confident," Fedorov said.

He also stressed that the territory of Russia is too large to cover it with air defense systems, which enables Ukraine to "act deeply in the rear of the enemy. " At the same time, one of the unnamed specialists who communicated with journalists and who was involved in the project of the Dar Dar Radius rocket said that the development of "Palyanitsa" began about 18 months ago "from scratch". "This is not a continuation of the old Soviet project," the expert emphasized.

According to him, the Dron rocket has a solid fuel accelerator that accelerates it and then a jet engine. The Associated Press also states that the new weapon was a long -term purpose of Ukraine, which was created because of the urgent need, since Russia has dominated the sky since the beginning of a full -scale invasion, and Western allies of Ukraine do not allow them to beat them with long -range weapons in Russia.
