The article mentions the events of the current week, when russia attacked an airport where four Il-76 aircraft were burned. A few hours after that, Russia launched dozens of cruise missiles Kh-101, Kh-555 and Shahed-136 kamikaze drones at Ukraine.

The publication writes that Ukrainian specialists are working on the development of about a dozen long-range unmanned aerial vehicles. Some of them will be able to hit targets at a distance of 1,000 kilometres.

Details about the new long-range drones are not yet available. Last year, a UAV that will have a launch range of 1,000 kilometres was officially announced. It is expected to have a 75kg warhead. Recently, volunteers showed the Beaver drones. They too can destroy targets within a range of 1,000 kilometres.
