“Today, the first successful combat use of our new weapon took place – a completely new class of weapons, the Ukrainian Palianytsa missile. This is our new method of striking back at the aggressor. The enemy has been defeated,” Zelensky said.
Zelensky did not reveal the location of the attack. Russian media reported that an explosion occurred at an ammunition depot in the Voronezh region on Saturday night. And it is here that, according to media reports, the new Ukrainian weapon would be used for the first time. “This missile drone is much faster than our long-range drones and more powerful. These are basically all the details that I can cover in an open conversation,” Zelensky said, declining to provide further details.
Zelensky noted that Ukraine is still working on drones with long-range missiles. “Our new weapons developments, in particular the Palianyca missile, are our real modus operandi, while some of our partners are, unfortunately, slowing down,” he added.
