Flying at 800 km/h, the new Russian drone is made with 3D printing, and this is a serious threat to Ukraine

Ukraine faces new challenges as Russia develops a cost-effective drone called Filin, which utilizes 3D printing technology. This drone can reach speeds of up to 800 km/h and has a range of 1125 km. The Ukrainian military intelligence reports that the Filin is cheaper to produce than the H-101, potentially allowing Russia to deploy it in large numbers, overwhelming Ukrainian air defenses. The drone incorporates commercially available parts from both domestic and foreign sources, including engines from Russia and electronic components from Western countries. This development raises concerns for Ukraine's ability to counter aerial threats effectively.
