우크라이나, 나토 군사위원장에게 무인기 및 순항미사일 생산공장 공개

[위종민]

볼 로디미르 젤렌스키 우크라이나 대통령이 주세페 카보 드라고네 나토 군사위원장에게 국산 유도미사일인 '페클로'와 AN-196 '리우티' 장거리 자폭드론 생산공장을 공개했네요. 

'페클로'는 사정거리 700km, 비행속도 700km로 2024년 12월 우크라이나군에 초도 물량이 인도됐고 러시아의 군사 및 석유 인프라 시설 공격에 투입됐다고 합니다. 

AN-196 '리우티'는 2024년 초 우크라이나가 도입한 6천 대 가량의 장거리 공격용 드론 중 대부분을 차지했으며, 무게는 200kg이 넘고 탄두 무게는 75kg(사정거리 연장을 위해 50kg으로 줄었을 수 있음)이며 사정거리는 1천km 이상이라고 합니다. 2023년 5월 타만 반도 볼나의 러시아 석유저장고 타격이 첫 실전 사용이었고, 최초의 기록된 장거리 공격은 2023년 9월 20일 체르니히우에서 발사된 드론이 소치 비행장의 석유저장고를 공격한 것이라고 하네요.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has presented a top-secret underground missile production facility to NATO Military Committee Chairman Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, revealing the development and deployment of the country’s latest unmanned self-propelled guided missile, known as the “Peklo.”

The missile, also referred to as a “drone-missile,” represents Ukraine’s expanding domestic defense industry amid its ongoing war with Russia.

The Peklo missile, capable of striking targets up to 700 kilometers away at a speed of 700 km/h, first became publicly known in December 2024 when Zelensky handed over an initial batch to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Since then, it has demonstrated its effectiveness in real combat, targeting and disabling key Russian military and oil infrastructure facilities.

Ukraine’s Minister for Strategic Industries, Herman Smetanin, emphasized that the Peklo missile has already proven resistant to Russian electronic warfare systems. Future iterations are expected to feature enhanced warheads and upgraded guidance systems. He also confirmed that production is ramping up, with NATO financial support playing a crucial role in sustaining and expanding Ukraine’s missile and drone capabilities.

“Deep-strike drones and drone missiles are unique types of weaponry developed in Ukraine. We showed these products to Giuseppe Cavo Dragone and met with the production workers,” said Ganna Gvozdiar, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Strategic Industries. “We are grateful for all the support our NATO partners have been providing in these challenging times of our fight for freedom, and we appreciate the great interest in our defense industry achievements. The Ukrainian defense manufacturing industry has a lot to offer in terms of smart power solutions and is always open to cooperation to build the Arsenal of the Free World.”

The unveiling of the Peklo missile program is a significant step in Ukraine’s strategy to counter Russian military dominance and sustain pressure on critical Russian infrastructure. In recent months, Ukraine has successfully targeted multiple Russian oil refineries and storage facilities, disrupting the Kremlin’s energy sector and forcing Moscow to divert extensive resources to bolster its air defenses.

Beyond its military effectiveness, the Peklo missile underscores Ukraine’s growing self-sufficiency in arms production.

The NATO delegation’s visit signals the alliance’s keen interest in Ukraine’s technological advancements and its potential role in reinforcing European defense capabilities.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has showcased the mass production line of the country’s long-range kamikaze drone, the AN-196 “Liutyi” (Fierce), to the Chairman of NATO’s Military Committee.

The demonstration comes as Ukraine rapidly scales up its drone warfare capabilities, with production figures increasing significantly over the past year.

Early, local media revealed that Ukraine has received over 6,000 long-range strike drones since the beginning of 2024, with the majority being AN-196 “Liutyi.” This represents a dramatic expansion of domestic drone production, reflecting Ukraine’s focus on increasing its ability to strike deep into Russian territory.

The development of the AN-196 “Liutyi” was first announced by Ukraine’s state defense conglomerate UkrOboronProm in October 2022. At that time, it was revealed that the drone would weigh over 200 kg and be capable of delivering a 75 kg warhead to targets more than 1,000 kilometers away.

The drone’s first confirmed combat deployment occurred on May 3, 2023, when Ukrainian forces successfully targeted a Russian oil depot in the village of Volna on the Taman Peninsula, near the Black Sea coast. By August 2023, the first serial batch of deep-strike drones had been delivered to Ukrainian forces, leading to further operations against high-value targets inside Russia.

The first documented long-range attack using the AN-196 took place on September 20, 2023, when a drone launched from Ukraine’s Chernihiv region struck an oil storage facility near an airfield in Sochi. Subsequent attacks followed, including an October 1 strike on a helicopter parking area near the same city. These successful missions underscored the effectiveness of Ukraine’s expanding drone capabilities in targeting critical Russian infrastructure.

The “Liutyi” drone features an integrated twin-boom low-wing airframe constructed primarily from fiberglass reinforced with epoxy resin. The structure also incorporates metal mesh and plywood elements to enhance rigidity. Its warhead is primarily designed for fragmentation damage and may include a shaped charge capability. While initial specifications listed a warhead weight of 75 kg, Russian reports suggest a reduced payload of 50 kg, likely adjusted to optimize range and other operational characteristics.

The guidance system of the AN-196 “Liutyi” includes an inertial navigation unit with satellite-based correction, allowing for autonomous flight to designated targets. A Pitot tube in the nose section measures flight parameters, ensuring stability and precision during operations.

The AN-196 “Liutyi” has played a crucial role in Ukraine’s ability to conduct deep-strike missions against critical Russian infrastructure and military facilities. As Kyiv continues to increase production and refine its capabilities, these drones are expected to remain a key asset in Ukraine’s deep-strike arsenal, further shifting the dynamics of the ongoing conflict.

페클로는 엔진이 밖으로 나와 있는 것처럼 보이네요.

저게 엔진이 맞다면, 뒤집어진 모습으로 전시될 걸까요? 굳이 엔진을 위에 달아서 연료펌프같은 걸 추가할 이유는 없을 것 같으니..

[백선호]

원조인 V-1도 엔진이 위에 있었으니 그리 어렵지는 않은 것 같습니다.

Compressed air rather than a fuel pump forced gasoline from the 640 L (140 imp gal; 170 US gal) fuel tank through the fuel jets which consisted of three banks of three atomizers. These nine atomizing nozzles were in front of the air inlet valve system where it mixed with air before entering the chamber.
