❗️What is this new missile "Dan-T" that the Russian Federation wants to produce immediately 10 thousand of? A short analysis by the INSIDER UA editorial team
Key points:
▪️"Dan-T" is a new Russian loitering munition that appeared in 2026. It can reach speeds of up to 500 km and carry a warhead of around 135 kg. That is noticeably heavier than most "Shaheds";
▪️The technical characteristics of the missile are similar to the S8000 "Banderol", but the "Banderol" is 35% more expensive than the "Dan-T";
▪️The "Dan-T" is launched from helicopters, and the Russians are simultaneously working on using it from aircraft. That means the launch platform can approach the desired area and significantly increase the actual depth of the missile's penetration into Ukrainian territory;
▪️The main danger is scale. Russia plans to manufacture in 2027 10 000 such munitions. If this volume is distributed evenly, that is roughly 830 per month or 27 per day.
In essence, Russia is trying to create another massed tier of strikes between the "Shaheds" and full-fledged cruise missiles.
