Russia's 1,000-km question no one wants to answer: Putin puts a 50-kg warhead on a Kamikaze drone?

Published on Aug 24, 2026 09:12 am IST

Russia is taking its new Garpiya-A1E strike drone to the global arms market, offering smaller militaries a potentially cheaper route to long-range attacks. The one-way drone has an advertised range of at least 1,000 kilometres, a warhead exceeding 50 kilograms and endurance of six hours. Moscow says foreign partners have already expressed interest as Almaz-Antey begins serial production for potential exports. The weapon could strike deep without risking expensive crewed aircraft and potentially exhaust enemy air defences. Could Putin's new kamikaze drone reshape the global market for deep-strike weapons?
