Ukraine expands drone reach to 3,500 km, putting Siberia within strike range
TL;DR
Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) says its Liutyi deep‑strike drones can reach 1,500–1,700 km and the jet‑powered Peklo can reach 700–1,000 km, projecting an overall capability of up to 3,500 km that could put European Russia and as far east as Krasnoyarsk in Siberia within Kyiv’s strike envelope. The claim is a capability assertion, not yet demonstrated; the current confirmed long‑range record is about 1,750 km, and recent Russian missile alerts in the Urals frame the broader war context.
