Ukraine Unveils Peklo Missile-Drone with Extended Strike Range

The domestically produced weapon boasts a 435-mile range, doubling the reach of Western-supplied missiles, and has already been deployed in combat.

Ukraine introduced the Peklo, a new hybrid missile-drone, on Armed Forces Day, marking a significant step in its domestic arms production capabilities.
The Peklo has a reported range of 435 miles and speeds up to 435 mph, surpassing the range of US-provided ATACMS and UK-French Storm Shadow missiles.
The weapon has been used in combat five times and is now entering serial production, though exact quantities delivered remain undisclosed for security reasons.
Ukrainian officials liken the Peklo to a cruise missile, emphasizing its cost-effectiveness compared to similar Russian weaponry.
President Zelensky and top defense leaders highlighted the importance of scaling up domestic arms production to bolster Ukraine's long-range strike capabilities.
