The Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage showing the "Dan-T" compact cruise missile. Although the "Dan-T" resembles a missile, it is officially classified as a loitering munition; it can likely be equipped with cameras. The developer of the "Dan-T" has not been named, though it is likely JSC Kronstadt. The technical specifications of the "Dan-T" are similar to those of the S8000 "Banderol" missile, though the latter is 35% more expensive. The "Dan-T" missile-drone is already in active service with the army. It is designed for launch from both Russian and foreign aircraft and helicopters. The "Dan-T" approaches its target stealthily, then climbs to execute a top-down attack. It features a special flight mode to bypass enemy air defense zones. According to some reports, the "Dan-T" weighs up to 270 kg, carries a 135 kg warhead, is powered by a compact turbojet engine, and has a range of up to 450 kilometers, with a flight speed of up to 650 km/h.

Russia has begun the large-scale installation of massive anti-drone protective structures around fuel storage facilities, oil depots, and other sites. Earlier, in the summer of 2026, Rostec unveiled the "Pautina" (Cobweb) system—an industrially standardized solution designed to protect oil storage facilities and other infrastructure from drones. The system consists of modular metal mesh structures capable, in their basic configuration, of withstanding a direct hit from a drone weighing up to 200 kilograms and traveling at 250 kilometers per hour.
It is worth noting that Russia's air defense systems provide virtually no protection for oil depots against drones. The protective structure is assembled using bolted connections and requires no welding. The new system is capable of protecting facilities of any surface area and heights exceeding 25 meters.
