Palianytsia Pocket Drone/missile

Last edited:
It would appear this new drone missile has already caused the Russians some serious problems. These drones may be behind the massive fire at a Russian oil-storage depot which they haven't been able to put out.
 
I wonder how long it will be before they develop a turbofan powered version?
 
Defense Updates has just put out a video about this new, kickers turbojet-powered drone:


Though deployed in various conflicts in recent years, notably in Nagorno-Karabakh (2020) and Syria (since 2011), drones have taken on a new dimension since the war in Ukraine was initiated by Russia on February 24, 2022.
The use of drones in Ukraine represents a steep change. Never before have so many drones been used in a military confrontation. These range from the very small – such as the Black Hornet which has a wingspan of only 12 cm – to pretty large ones like Bayraktar TB2 with wingspans of about 12 meters. Ukraine has now taken a concrete step in developing an interesting indigenous solution.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why Ukraine’s homegrown Palyanytsya UAV is a terrifying prospect for Russia?

Russian sources claim that Palianytsia is rather the British Modini Dart 250EW kamikaze drone used to defeat radio emitting targets. They gutted one as seen on the images from the link below.

The Ukrainians said that they had invented a new Palyanitsa missile, but it turned out to be the British drone Dart 250EW.

The Dart 250EW is a British kamikaze attack drone developed by Modini, designed to combat electronic warfare systems, equipped with a terrain envelope and navigation system for precise targeting of radio sources, providing high speed and low—altitude flight to defeat electronic warfare systems.

The FX-2 flight controller allows the drone to detect, capture and aim at a target emitting radio waves. The Dart 250EW is equipped with a state-of-the-art terrain tracking system that allows the drone to maintain a relative height above ground level in the range of 50 to 100 meters.
