Ukraine’s military intelligence agency HUR has published detailed technical information about a new Russian air-launched cruise missile called the S-71K Kovyor which translates as ‘Carpet.’ The missile was first used against Ukraine in late 2025 and was developed for Russia’s most advanced fighter jet, the Sukhoi Su-57. It carries a 250-kilogram explosive warhead, has a range of up to 300 kilometres, and is powered by an R500 turbojet engine. Unlike Russia’s existing expensive cruise missiles, the S-71K is designed to be cheap, simple, and produced in large numbers to overwhelm air defences.
