Perun loitering munition developed in Ukraine

23 August, 2023 Ukrainian loitering munition Perun. The presentation was published on YouTube channel PRESSING The Ukrainian defense-industrial complex developed a new Perun loitering munition.

The presentation of the drone, which has become an analogue of the Lancet, was held at one of the closed events. Ukrainian development is a very close analogue of the Russian Lancet loitering munition. The presentation video indicates that the length of the Perun is 1365 mm, width 1370 mm and 800 mm.

Perun is equipped with a double X-wing, which should allow it to provide the necessary lift while reducing the dimensions. Such a solution is also aimed at achieving high speed for maintaining good controllability.

Presumably, an optical-electronic system which serves for observation and targeting is installed in the nose of the unmanned vehicle. Low noise electric motor is placed in the tail part. In the video, the Perun loitering munition is launched using a catapult.
