29 classified drone types

Small Loitering Munition

Loitering Munition
High

Compact, man-portable loitering munition that can search for and engage targets autonomously or with operator guidance. Combines drone ISR with precision strike in a single system. Launched from a tube, loiters until target identified, then dives to attack.

10–70 km80–115 km/h

Large Loitering Munition

Loitering Munition
Critical

Long-range, large-warhead loitering munition designed for strategic strike. Navigates via GPS/INS to pre-programmed targets over hundreds or thousands of kilometers. Designed for saturation attacks to overwhelm air defenses. Essentially a low-cost cruise missile alternative.

200–2,500 km150–250 km/h

Winged Glide Munition

Loitering Munition
High

Standoff glide bomb fitted with pop-out wings, GPS/INS guidance and a satellite-corrected autopilot. Released from a manned aircraft well outside short-range air defense, it glides 40–80 km onto fixed targets. Cheap upgrade kits convert legacy unguided bombs into precision standoff weapons, dominating Russian frontline strike since 2023.

40–80 km (glide), up to 100+ km from altitude700–900 km/h (terminal)

One-Way Attack Cruise Drone

Loitering Munition
Critical

Long-range, propeller-driven, one-way attack drone designed for pre-programmed strikes against fixed strategic targets — power grids, ports, airfields, refineries. Distinct from loitering munitions: it does not loiter or hunt. It flies a pre-planned route on GPS + inertial guidance and detonates a heavy warhead on impact. The dominant deep-strike asset of the Russia–Ukraine war and the Houthi campaign in the Red Sea.
