  1. On the Day of the [Armed Forces of Ukraine](https://www.kyivpost.com/topic/armed-forces-of-ukraine), Dec. 6, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky handed over the first batch of modern “Peklo” [Hell] [missile-drones](https://www.kyivpost.com/topic/drones) to the Ukrainian military. This is the first series of Ukrainian rocket drones to go into mass production.

    As of today, five successful launches of the “Peklo” missile-drones have been reported. The rockets have a strike range of 700 km and can reach speeds of up to 700 km/h. For security reasons, the technical details and the exact number of drones delivered have not been disclosed.

  2. The state-of-the-art “Peklo” missile-drone was created by a Ukrainian manufacturer from scratch in record time – within one year. It is not only being produced in series but is also continually being improved to expand the list of potential targets, as reported by Minister for Strategic Industries Herman Smetanin.

    “Work is constantly underway to enhance the product’s protection against electronic warfare (EW) effects, improve operational characteristics, and increase strike accuracy. New types of warheads are being developed to broaden the range of possible targets,” Smetanin explained.

    The President previously noted that this is a fundamentally new type of weapon for Ukraine. Additionally, event participants emphasized that the Ukrainian missile-drones are just as effective as some Russian cruise missiles, while being significantly cheaper.

  3. What the hell?…putins last words.
    Brought to you by hell missiles.

  4. Ukrainian engineer: *“Do you think we are taking the ‘Rain down [hell] upon our enemies’ a little too literally, sir?”*

    Zalensky: *No*

  5. What differentiates a “smart bomb” or guided missile and a “missile drone”?

  6. Great news, and on other unrelated note, I am constantly finding more and more words almost identical between Ukrainian and Polish language: Peklo (Ukr.) – Piekło (Pol.).

    May they rain hell on russia!

  7. Give them hell Ukraine.
    You may win this thing yet!

  8. …as Fat Bastard would say “….Drop Dead Sexy”!

  10. It is weapons like this which Ukraine itself manufactures that are going to be the focal point of the real turn of the conflict to Ukraine’s favor.

    Quite a bit of the aid Ukraine is receiving now is oriented towards assisting Ukraine in building its own manufacturing capability as this of course removes reliance on “unreliable” partners (aka Trump). The $50 billion funding in process right now via frozen ruzzian assets will allow Ukraine to build large numbers of these drones in the next few months. Can you imagine an attack by Ukraine which involves a swarm of these on a high value target in ruzzia? Again and again? That is when this war will really turn.

    It is not only this. Ukraine is building more Neptunes, artillery shells, fpv and other shorter range drones, infantry fighting vehicles (license of German Lynx), 155mm self propelled and towed guns, mortar ammunition and more. It is all just really starting to flow, and next yr will be more of a flood.
