Russia may significantly ramp up production of low-cost "Dan-T" cruise missiles, which can be launched from various platforms. A military analyst predicts that by 2027, Russia could produce about 10,000 of these munitions.

This was reported by Serhiy "Flash" Beskrestnov, an advisor to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the development of defense technology, on his Facebook page, as well as by an analyst and veteran with the handle "kriegsforscher" on the X network.

As of August, the “Dan-T” could be launched from both ground-based and airborne platforms. Among the possible launch platforms, he lists the Su-25SM3, Su-30SM, Su-34, and Su-57 aircraft, as well as the Mi-28 helicopter.

Analyst kriegsforscher notes that the missile has a range of about 500 kilometers and a warhead weight of 135 kilograms. In his opinion, due to its relatively low cost and the difficulty of intercepting it, the widespread use of the “Dan-T” could create additional problems for Ukrainian air defense.

Sergey “Flash” Beskrestnov, an expert in military radio technology, also reported on the new Russian munitions. He shared images of the “Dan-T” and noted that the missile resembles the Russian “Banderole” munition.

According to kriegsforscher’s assessment, Russia could produce approximately 10,000 “Dan-T” missiles in 2027. However, this figure is an analyst’s projection and has not yet been officially confirmed by Ukrainian intelligence.

As a reminder, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and French President Emmanuel Macron discussed further military cooperation with Ukraine during a meeting in London. One of the topics of discussion was the establishment of local assembly lines for SCALP long-range missiles on Ukrainian territory. The British government noted that British technology is used in their production.
