Military columnist and retired colonel Viktor Litovkin spoke about the "unpleasant surprise" for the United States from Russia in an interview with the publication "PolitRussia" . According to him, it could be a new Russian drone with resettable wings.

"Based on the information that is already available, we can assume that we are getting a real unmanned transformer rocket," the expert said. In his opinion, it will work at subsonic speeds, but at the same time it will have the ability to change flight variations.

Litovkin explained that the development will be able to perform the functions of a reconnaissance drone and a homing missile. When flying at extremely low altitudes along a pre-laid route, the device will scan the space under and in front of it. And after finding the desired object, it will drop its wings and rush towards it like a rocket.

"If everything goes well, and this munition is adopted, it can become an unpleasant surprise for all potential opponents of our country, up to the United States," Litovkin said. At the same time, he stressed that it is difficult to draw any concrete conclusions about the development until it is presented.

The Russian Federal Nuclear Center is the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Technical Physics named after Academician E. I. Zababakhin developed and patented an unmanned aerial vehicle with resettable wings, which is characterized by increased maneuverability. The aircraft will be able to bend around the surface at extremely low speed, for this it has additional wings installed, which are located inside the drone. In the process of performing a combat mission, they are put forward and fixed. In the tail part there is an engine, in the nose there is a controlled front vertical tail.
