Ukraine has launched mass production of a new drone missile called Peklo. According to Ekonomichna Pravda, over the past three months, the developer has produced about 100 units of this weapon, and is currently actively increasing production capacity.
Technical features and cost
According to the developers, the Peklo drone missile consists of 70% components manufactured by Ukrainian state and private enterprises. The design allows for the use of different types of engines, which provides flexibility in production and operation depending on the availability of components.
The price of the missile remains a commercial secret, but it is known that it will be lower than the cost of the Ukrainian kamikaze drone Liutiy.
The path to mass production
After completion of the development and codification process, the Peklo drone missile immediately went into mass production. The customers are units that already use long-range drones, which indicates a high demand for this weapon.
According to the developer, there are many technical and logistical difficulties in the process of mass production. However, these challenges are compensated for by the high level of interchangeability of elements, which makes it easier to adapt the missile to existing conditions.
The launch of mass production of the Peklo drone missile is another achievement of Ukraine’s defence sector, which significantly enhances the country’s ability to withstand modern challenges on the battlefield.
