Russia has been deploying small-sized 'Banderol' missiles in attacks on Odesa, designed to evade air defense systems, according to the OSINTdefender the source. The claim adds to a growing list of Russian missile types used against Ukrainian targets.
Russia is reportedly using a new type of small missile, referred to as 'Banderol' by the OSINTdefender intelligence channel, in attacks on the port city of Odesa. The missiles are described as designed to evade air defense systems, though no independent confirmation of the claim or technical details have been provided.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Russian missile strikes on Odesa and Kyiv, including the use of S-400 land-to-land missiles, Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Zircon hypersonic missiles, and various cruise missiles. The reported use of 'Banderol' missiles, if confirmed, would represent a further addition to Russia's evolving arsenal.
The origin and technical specifications of the 'Banderol' missile remain unclear, and the report has not been corroborated by Ukrainian or other Western sources.
