turbojet
Peklo was developed by the Ukrainian Defense Industry and is presumably based on the Palianytsia missile-drone, which was also developed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine . Through the remote-controlled turbojet engine , the drone is capable of reaching subsonic speeds of up to 700 km/h (Mach 0.57), and has a maximum range of 700 km. It was reported that the weapon is composed of up to 70% domestically produced components, however it may still face supply chain issues.
As details of missile are sparse due to a general reluctance to reveal too much information to its adversary in the war, photo image analysis by the media indicates that the weight of the warhead may not be more than 50 kg due to the fuselage. However the media arrived at different conclusions on the launching mechanism, with Ukrainian media Defence Express concluding that it is likely a land-based system, while BBC determined that it can be launched from aircraft.
