Ukrainian forces are reportedly in final stages of development of an attack drone with a range of 1000km and warhead of 75kg.

Final stages would include DT (Developmental Test) and OT (Operational Test).

I would be most interested in the design specification, but would guess that it is highly classified.

My personal suggestions would include:

GPS/INS navigation

Terrain Following Capability

RWR with integrated defensive maneuvering

Terminal Guidance

Different types of warheads...blast for soft targets (parked aircraft & electric substations) and shaped charge for hardened targets (POL and ammo storage).

75kg of HE can do a lot of damage.
