A new small Filin cruise missile (known as a jet UAV, UAV). As we see, there is a positive trend in the development of cruise missiles with internal combustion engines (geranium), to a full attack weapon, in the niche of small cruise missiles and mass production. And the main difference between this concept is that it maintains a fairly high rate of mass production, which makes it possible to continue to use spam tactics of drones to oversaturate enemy air defenses, but at the same time to move away from the simplest commercial technologies, the possibility of scaling is limited for players with an initial level of capability and an industrial base. Because while there was a development of commercial mass technology, adapting it for military use, this seemed to provide massive increases in efficiency. But this was quickly met with an equally rapid increase in the effectiveness of countermeasures. And now the step we already took in the 40s-60s, with an increase in speeds, weapon ranges and defense, is being repeated in a new niche. Increasing range speed and noise immunity results in an increase in extreme design - that is, more expensive materials and stressed components are used, and this no longer has such a broad basis in commercial production. The most striking example is the internal combustion engine for UAVs. The technology of an aluminum motor with a short resource has been proven in volumes of tens of millions of products per year. And referring tens of thousands of abilities per year is not a problem at all. But no one in the world has produced jet engines from heat-resistant nickel-based alloys, even in the thousands. Usually the production volumes are hundreds per year. And these are different requirements for production capacity and personnel. That is, the task is an order of magnitude more difficult. And this is no longer possible for yesterday's players and IT experts, who a few years ago easily switched to assembling ready-made commercial units, and were able to scale it up quickly, due to the flexibility of the externally controlled control system.
