Russia unveiled the upgraded BM-35 jet drone, capable of speeds exceeding 350 km/h

Russian propaganda media showed the deployment of the upgraded BM-35 attack drone equipped with a jet engine. 

According to the occupiers, it can reach speeds of over 350 km/h and travel more than 200 km.

The drone is launched from a mobile platform, and according to the Russian military, it takes just a few minutes to prepare. The declared payload weighs about 10 kg.

The Russians claim that the BM-35 is used to strike Ukrainian logistics facilities and positions in the border areas of the Kharkiv and Sumy regions.

At the same time, the cited specifications and claims that the drone is allegedly out of reach of Ukrainian interceptors come exclusively from the Russian side and have not been independently confirmed.
