UNIAN, photo: facebook.com/Serhii.Flash Russia, instead of jet drones, will attack Ukraine with rocket-powered missiles. This was reported by specialist in military radio technologies and freelance advisor to President Volodymyr Zelensky on the development of defense technology directions Serhii "Flesch" Beskrestnov on his Facebook page, where he showed what the "Dan-T" missile looks like.
Flesch noted that the "Dan-T" missile resembles the Russian missile-drone "Banderol".
"This is what the "Dan-T" cruise missile looks like. It resembles the "Banderol." And the "Dan-M" is a completely different missile, created on the basis of a rocket-powered target unmanned aerial vehicle," his post says.
Ukrainian veteran and military analyst kriegsforscher on social network X noted that the Russian cruise missile "Dan-T" is quite promising. As of August it can be launched both from ground platforms and from numerous air platforms. The missile's range is 500 km, and the warhead weight is 135 kg. Launches can be carried out from Su-25SM3, Su-30SM, Su-34, Su-57 aircraft and Mi-28 helicopter.
He predicts that in 2027 we should expect an extremely large number of problems related to cheap missiles that are difficult to intercept. The Russians plan to produce about 10 000 missiles of the "Dan-T" type alone in 2027.
Countering Russian weapons
Earlier UNIAN reported that, according to aviation expert Valerii Romanenko, Russia is now actively working on the creation of a number of effectors that can be grouped under one term — Ersatz missiles. Romanenko shared that one of them is the "Dan-T" missile. The aviation expert noted that its cost is lower than that of a standard cruise missile such as the Kh-101 or the "Kalibr." At the same time, its range is no more than 500 kilometers, whereas the Kh-101 has 5500 kilometers.
We also wrote that analysts state Ukraine is now in urgent need of mass-produced, inexpensive means to intercept rocket drones that are much closer to cruise missiles than to "Shaheds." The question is not the price, but the scale of production, because, according to Ukrainian intelligence, Russia produces 3000 rocket "Geran-4" and "Geran-5" per month. According to analysts, one option is the micro-missile Mark 1 from the startup Frankenburg Technologies, which was founded in 2024 with the idea of creating an economical and highly effective counter-drone solution.
