#Banderol

On the evening of October 4, 2026, Russian forces struck an apartment building in Kharkiv with a 'Banderol' loitering munition, causing deaths and injuries as emergency services respond.

At the exhibition in El Alamein, Russia publicly showed for the first time the guided munitions S-71K 'Kover', S-71M 'Monokhrom', and S8000 'Banderol', ramping up production of cheap long-range weapons.

An aviation expert explained that Russia is technically capable of, but does not massively use, 'Banderyol' munitions against Kyiv due to the segmentation of units' responsibility zones. We examine the specifications and vulnerabilities of this drone-missile hybrid.

Brave1 stated that a Ukrainian interceptor is already downing Russian "Banderols" and costs less than the drone-missile itself. The agency did not disclose the developer or the exact cost of deployment.

Late on the evening of August 24, a jet-powered UAV strike was recorded near the 'Karavan' shopping center in Dnipro. A fire broke out on the parking lot, and the building's facade and glazing were damaged. Official data on casualties is being verified.

On August 22, a Russian UAV of the "Bandierol" type crashed in Petrykov District of Belarus. The systematic transit of drones through Polesie creates direct risks for the country's infrastructure and population.

🇷🇺 Massive attack on Chernihiv region: Russia used high-speed 'Banderol' drones (650 km/h) against infrastructure. Chernihiv, Pryluky, and Novhorod-Siverskyi were hit: destruction, fires, and casualties. 🛡️ Air defense continues to repel attacks, but the threat is growing.

Photos of the new launcher for the 'Banderyol' missile have leaked — this changes the rules of the game. 🇺🇦🚀 Israel has declared its goal to create its own stealth fighters to avoid dependence on the US. 🇮🇱✈️ Japan has shown the ASM-2 anti-ship missile on the F-2A fighter. 🇯🇵⚓

Russia is changing tactics: 'Banderol' drone-missiles can now be launched from the ground to conceal attacks. Experts warn about the scaling of the threat and the strain on Ukraine's air defense. 🚀🛡️

Russia has moved to serial production of 'Banderol' cruise missiles for strikes on southern Ukraine. The missiles are equipped with Chinese engines and are ineffective against FPV drones, as confirmed by destruction in Odesa and Mykolaiv. 🚀🇺🇦

Russia is changing its strike tactics against Ukraine, increasingly using hybrid munitions called «Banderol» launched from «Orion» drones. 🚀🛸 Yuriy Ignat, Head of Communications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, spoke about the speed of these drones and methods for their interception. The Armed Forces of Ukraine reported shooting down 81 drones during the night attack. 🇺🇦🛡️

The Ukrainian 115th 'Aliens' Brigade shot down an expensive Russian 'Orion' drone using an interceptor. This is the second time such a target has been destroyed using this method. Previously, the Armed Forces of Ukraine also struck warehouses containing these UAVs in Crimea. 🚁💥🇺🇦
