Russia Showcases Export Version of Harpia-A1 (E) Loitering Munition with 1,000 km Strike Reach
Russia presented the Harpia-A1(E) export-version loitering munition at a Moscow security exhibition on November 10, 2026, advertising a strike range of up to 1,000 kilometres. Russian sources claimed a warhead heavier than 50 kilograms, endurance of at least six hours and an automated flight profile for attacking predesignated targets. The system is being promoted for long-range unmanned attack missions, although the public presentation did not establish its performance under independent testing or identify an export customer. The figures should be understood as manufacturer or Russian-government claims, and the appearance of an export model does not confirm a signed sale or operational deployment abroad.
