Evidence & current status

The cited public record documents military use or operator acceptance. Specifications still depend on the particular production version and mission configuration.

Role & programme

A Ukrainian drone-missile hybrid whose first production batch was publicly handed over in December 2024.

The presidential announcement identifies a production and delivery milestone and provides headline speed and range. It does not release a complete airframe or mission-system specification. The term drone-missile is retained to explain the catalogue boundary. Peklo is not automatically a variant of Palyanytsia simply because both are described with the same hybrid terminology.

Sourced specifications

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