Design and Capabilities:
Structure: The missile features a central body with forward-positioned wings and a tail section equipped with four control surfaces, giving it the appearance of a cruise missile.
WIKIPEDIA
Range: According to Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, the Palianytsia has a range of 600–700 kilometers.
WIKIPEDIA
Warhead: Estimates of the warhead's weight vary, with some analysts suggesting it carries "a few tens of kilograms," while others believe it could be up to 50 kilograms or even several hundred kilograms.

Propulsion:
Despite being termed a "rocket drone," the Palianytsia is powered by a turbojet engine. Military correspondent David Axe reports that it utilizes the AI-PBS-350 jet engine, jointly developed by Czech PBS Velká Bíteš and Ukrainian Ivchenko-Progress SE. This engine is optimized for single-use munitions, weighing 51 kg and producing 3,400 N of thrust.

Production and Cost:
Cost: Minister for Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov stated that each Palianytsia unit costs less than $1 million. A Ukrainian reserve colonel estimates the cost to be between $50,000 and $100,000, significantly less than Western cruise missiles, which can cost upwards of $1 million.

Funding: On September 6, 2024, Alexander Kamyshin announced that Lithuania would contribute €10 million to support the production of Palianytsia systems.
WIKIPEDIA
Serial Production: As of December 4, 2024, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov announced that the Palianytsia missile-drone had entered serial production.
WIKIPEDIA
Operational History:
The Palianytsia was unveiled with claims of prior use against unspecified Russian military targets, with media speculating its involvement in a strike on an ammunition depot in Voronezh Oblast. Subsequent attacks on ammunition storage facilities in Toropets and Tikhoretsk, as well as the Tikhoretsk air base, have been attributed to the Palianytsia, partly based on reports of jet engines heard during the attacks.
WIKIPEDIA
Naming Significance:
The term "Palianytsia" refers to a traditional Ukrainian hearth-baked bread and serves as a linguistic shibboleth to identify non-native speakers, particularly during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
