Russia's new cruise missiles use a TEMU engine.



Russia's new S8000 Banderol missile. It’s like a hobbyist package turned into a military role. That new, cheap cruise missile is being developed. To be used against soft targets like radars. Those missiles can cause problems. Because if they are used with other, more advanced missiles. They can be dangerous. Ukraine dropped one of them with a very old AA gun. That doesn’t mean that those missiles are harmless. They are cheap and probably easy to manufacture. Those hobby-kit missiles can also be transported to positions. There, they can make surprise attacks. Missiles that can be manufactured or assembled in the operational area are a big risk.  Those systems can be smuggled into the country—the origin of the parts. of that missile. It's also a depressing thing to read. That shows the real effect of the sanctions against Russia.




Their operators can. Put those parts into their position. And use those missiles even from their balcony. This is a new threat. Things. Like artificial intelligence and cheap image recognition tools make those systems deadlier than ever before. The hobby-kit missiles are tools. That took their position in the war. Low-cost missiles and drones are tools. That can cause problems for every system. They can attack large carriers’ radars and communication systems. In the same way, small cruise missiles can be deadly against aircraft. 



S8000 has another drone as its primary launch platform. And that missile. It can also be integrated with the Mi-28 Havoc. The standard kit uses inertial and satellite guidance systems. But there are dreams of using AI and optical target recognition systems to boost its accuracy. The suspected system uses the WEB camera. And an AI-based target recognition sensor. This makes. The system can find its targets with high accuracy. The system works like this. Inertial and satellite navigation guide the missile to the line of the target. When its camera sees the target. 

And recognizes it. That missile dives toward it. Those missiles can use things like an anti-radar kit. That system turns them into anti-radiation missiles. Those missiles can be used against radars, jammers, and communication tools. There is a possibility that, if those systems have the right codes. They can search for and locate individual GSM telephones on the streets. AI makes those systems dangerous. They can make evasion maneuvers. And they are easy to buy. So, in the wrong hands, those hobby-kit missiles can cause terrible damage.
