Ukraine has unveiled a new domestically developed long-range drone, named Palyanytsia, capable of striking deep into Russian territory. The Palyanytsia drone is equipped with a turbojet engine and was developed over a period of one and a half years. It can target up to 20 Russian airfields, providing Ukraine with a significant strategic advantage. This development comes as a response to restrictions on the use of Western weapons on Russian soil, allowing Ukraine to act independently of its allies' permissions. The introduction of this weapon is seen as a major advancement in Ukraine's military capabilities amid ongoing Russian cruise missile attacks.
