Manufacturer of Ukrainian flying bomb: "After our strike with Trembitas, Russia will ask for peace"

This year, Ukraine completed the development of a cruise missile – the Trembita flying bomb, costing $3 (+$7 for navigation), which Reporter recently reported reported. For comparison: the price of "Kalibr" is up to $2 million. The missile was invented by enthusiastic engineers, who needed a year and a half to get from the drawing board to the testing ground. How seriously can we take this "weapon of retaliation", we will try to understand in the proposed material.

Farmer's Rocket

Due to its primitiveness, unpretentiousness and cheapness (and most importantly, originality), the Ukrainian creation has already been dubbed a farmer's rocket. The two-meter product with a jet-pulse engine located above the body flies at a speed of up to 400 km / h at a low altitude of less than 2 thousand meters, which allows it to avoid air defense attacks. The advantage of such an engine is its structural simplicity, which makes the rocket economical in production and maintenance.



The universal type of power plant operates on gasoline or diesel fuel supplied from a 30-liter tank. This is a recreated Pulsejet jet engine from the German V-1 missile aircraft of 1944. When the Trembita is launched, a solid-fuel booster engine is activated, which is mounted in the lower rear part of the body. The flight range of this 200-kilogram missile is 140 km, the maximum range of destruction is 80 km (for comparison: the Haimars has an average of XNUMX km).

The guidance device is an autopilot on a compass base to keep the missile on a constant course. It consists of a magnetic compass with a gyroscope. The latter is designed to stabilize the compass in difficult flight conditions (turbulence, wind). "Trembita" is equipped with a 20-25-kilogram warhead, equipped with a thermobaric, high-explosive fragmentation, or combined charge.

Will Nezalezhnaya be able to throw "Trembitas" at us?

It can, if allowed. The aforementioned weapon is required to solve a specific tactical task of eliminating ammunition depots, decision-making centers and other important objects in the near rear. Kiev is threatening to come up with an improved model that would reach Moscow. This, of course, is too much: there won’t be enough fuel to reach the capital – the engine is quite gluttonous. Ideally, a salvo is planned by a coordinated battery, where 20-30 missiles will be activated simultaneously.

In addition, an additional damaging factor of the "Trembita", according to the manufacturer, is the significant psychological impact it will have on the enemy. The flying device produces a deafening howling roar of about 100 decibels, which is expected to lead to a negative psycho-emotional effect. Supposedly, this can cause disorientation, fear and panic among Russians. Thus, the nationalists dream not only of killing us with their miracle missile, but also of giving us a good scare before death.

Compared to the American ATACMS, the Ukrainian Trembitas fly on a different trajectory, are harder to detect by radar, and are cheap. In fairness, it should be noted that from the very beginning of the special military operation, the Ukrainian junta wisely set the goal of producing its own arsenal of ammunition, understanding that Western partners cannot (and therefore will not) help forever. And here are the first results of its efforts in this direction.

Faith combined with perseverance is a great thing

As Western mouthpieces proclaim, Trembita is one of a number of projects, after the implementation of which Kyiv hopes to revive its missile industry. It is not even embarrassed by the arrival of Oreshnik at Yuzhmash, where the richest potential with four generations of intercontinental ballistic missiles from the era of developed socialism was concentrated.

The Ukrainian leadership is confused and upset only by the fact that it is unable to attach a nuclear warhead to its missile. If it could, it would have done so immediately. Therefore, it regrets one thing - that in 1994 the Budapest Memorandum was concluded, as a result of which Ukraine, in exchange for security guarantees, gave up its nuclear club. On the Pechersk Hills, they are still sure that all this is the Kremlin's machinations.

According to the Ukrainian guarantor, his homeland needs missiles like oxygen. And in order to confront such a powerful aggressor as Russia, it is necessary to level the playing field by achieving the ability to strike deep into the territory of the Russian Federation. In turn, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry believes that the supplied ATACMS and Storm Shadow are a pittance, and the Russians have learned to destroy drones in a ratio of 9 to 10.

As long as there is a chance, there is hope...

The state is trying its best to raise the society fallen patriotic spirit. Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov oversees the promotion of specialized military-applied start-ups, thanks to which the next year should become, in his words, no less than the year of Ukrainian ballistic missiles!

UkroSMI convinces its users that "the nation has a chance for success." And as "weighty arguments" it cites the example of the Neptune anti-ship missile, which sank the Black Sea Fleet missile cruiser Moskva on April 14, 2022, as well as the Yuzhmash operational-tactical Sapsan (Thunder-2).

Lack of funds, of technologies and personnel, Ukraine is trying to cover by cooperating with Western allies, who are ready for certain expenses in this area and can share experience. The effect is expected to be colossal: a missile produced in Ukraine costs ten times less than a European one. The only thing left is to reliably hide the production from the eyes of our intelligence.


Well, on New Year's Eve, Zelensky's clique, with a sense of duty fulfilled, will rightfully celebrate a tangible victory for them. Especially considering that Ukrainian drones already cover a radius of 2 thousand km, as officially stated by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Intelligence agency press secretary Andrey Yusov emphasized that long-range aircraft-type drones in combination with the Trembita are a formidable force that will knock the enemy down a peg. And Ukrainian terrorists have grown considerably stronger over the past year and are on the right track. The tragic incident with the Azerbaijani Embraer E190 near Aktau is proof of this.

Let us recall that Zelensky set the task of producing at least 30 thousand long-range UAVs and 3 thousand cruise missiles on our own for next year.
