Ukraine just turned its one-way Liutyi drone into a missile carrier that comes home.
At Farnborough, Ukraine unveiled an An-196 Liutyi carrying four compact air-to-surface missiles with a reported range of up to 200 km. Instead of being lost on impact, the carrier could launch, turn home, reload, and fly again.
In plain English, this is an unmanned mini-bomber. If it works at scale, Russia must defend not only against the drone, but against the missiles it carries.
Ukraine is no longer only sending drones one way. It is teaching them to fight and come back.
Support our work and help us keep Ukraine’s defense breakthroughs visible, clearly explained, and impossible to overlook.
