During the announcement, Zelenskyy highlighted the strategic importance of this equipment and the plans to expand its production and use in military operations. “The goal now is to increase the production and use of these missiles,” stated the president.
He also expressed gratitude to everyone involved in Ukraine’s defense production, acknowledging their crucial contributions to the country’s resistance against foreign aggression.
The “Peklo” missiles mark another step forward in Ukraine’s military modernization efforts, enhancing its self-defense capabilities and technological innovation on the battlefield.
According to official specifications, the “Peklo” drone missile can reach speeds of up to 700 kilometers per hour and has an operational range of 700 kilometers. Efforts are underway to improve the system’s resistance to electronic warfare, optimize its operational features, and increase target accuracy. Additionally, new warhead variants are under development to broaden the range of potential targets.
Although officially categorized as a “drone missile,” the “Peklo” more closely resembles a compact cruise missile. Based on available images, the missile’s length and wingspan are estimated at approximately two meters.
It is believed that its warhead weighs no more than 50 kilograms, a limitation imposed by its dimensions. Comparisons have been drawn with the Barracuda system, a weapon of similar design.
The development program, focused on autonomy and precision, reflects the country’s commitment to strengthening its sovereignty and security.
