Evidence & current status

GUR catalogue of declared characteristics and producer attribution. Public values are not independently verified acceptance-test results.

Role & programme

A Russian expendable aircraft programme listed separately from Lancet in GUR’s public catalogue.

The catalogue identifies the named product and industrial network, with a claimed 200 km range and combustion-engine propulsion. The range label does not define a mission radius, and the listing alone does not establish independent flight testing. Italmas, Lancet and KUB are separate products even where companies or programme terminology overlap.

Sourced specifications

Figures apply to the named configuration. Maximum values are not guaranteed operating performance.
