“During the two-and-a-half-year full-scale war, Russia has launched approximately 10,000 different types of missiles and more than 33,000 guided aerial bombs against Ukraine.
Attacks on our cities can be stopped by hitting the carriers of these weapons – Russian planes at military airfields,” Zelensky said in a post on social networks.
“Yesterday, for the first time, our new weapon – the Ukrainian long-range missile drone “Palyanytsia” – was successfully used for combat purposes. It is designed for our own forces to destroy the enemy’s attack capability,” Zelenskis said.
“There will be more and more missile drones, just as we have more and more long-range attack drones that [triecienu] we see the results almost every day,” said the President of Ukraine.
In a video posted by Zelensky on social networks, it is said that allies do not allow the weapons they donate to be used to attack Russian military airfields, so Ukraine has a donation program was initiated for private missile projects, invested in state-owned design offices. and deregulated the industry to promote it.
“Pałanicja”, which was developed in just a year and a half, is the first result of these efforts.
“Palanicja” will be launched from the ground platform. The engine is turbojet. The cost of the missile drone is much lower than its analogues, and work continues to reduce costs and increase production,” the video said.
He says that the task of “Paļanicja” is to “protect civilians by destroying the enemy’s ability to attack.” And do it in his area.”
Palanicja is a traditional Ukrainian wheat bread. The phonetic complex word “palanytsya” is used as a kind of test to check the ability of foreigners to speak Ukrainian.
During the Russian invasion, this word is used to describe captured Russian soldiers pretending to be Ukrainians, but the word is incorrect.
