This was reported by the Associated Press.

According to the publication, the head of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mikhail Fedorov stated that Ukraine is getting ready use the developed rocket drone “Palyanitsa”, which is launched from a ground platform.

The new drone allegedly has a flight range of up to 700 km, which is comparable to the ATACMS missiles (USA).
