Overview

The S8000 Banderol is manufactured by JSC Kronshtadt, according to GUR's technical catalogue. GUR lists an approximately 5 m airframe, 30 cm body diameter, 2.2 m wing dimension, 500 km range, 520–560 km/h cruising speed and 620–650 km/h maximum speed. Its OFBCh-150 warhead weighs 114.3 kg, including 49.5 kg of HMX-based explosive with aluminium powder, according to GUR's warhead record. GUR identifies inertial navigation and a Kometa-M8 interference-resistant antenna, while its engine record identifies the commercial SW800Pro-A95 turbojet. GUR told Ukrainska Pravda that Banderols were most often launched from Mi-28N helicopters operating from occupied Crimea; FDD's Long War Journal also documented Russian state-media footage associating the missile with the Inokhodets/Orion UAV. Militarnyi reported GUR's July 2026 announcement that testing had been completed and serial production had begun, without verified factory-output totals. Aviation expert Anatolii Khrapchynskyi estimated production cost at US$50,000–150,000, depending on components, in an interview with the Kyiv Independent.
