Russia deploys 3D-printed cruise missiles with Western electronics in Ukraine

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Russia is reportedly utilizing 3D-printed cruise missiles, dubbed "Filin," in its conflict with Ukraine. These missiles are significantly cheaper to produce than traditional models like the Kh-101, potentially enabling Russia to employ "missile spam" tactics to overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses. The Filin missiles are capable of reaching speeds up to 500 mph and a range of 745 miles, incorporating both 3D-printed components and commercially available electronics, including parts sourced from Western nations.
