Description
The S8000 Banderol (Russian: S8000 Бандероль), which translates to "package" or "small parcel," is a cruise missile operated by Russia. The system's deployment was first disclosed by the Military Intelligence Service of Ukraine in May 2025.
The missile's design prioritizes low production costs and simplified manufacturing, incorporating imported foreign components for key systems. It is an air-launched munition, with the Orion unmanned aerial vehicle serving as its primary launch platform. The missile is also integrated for use with the Mi-28 Havoc helicopter. To counter air defense systems, the missile utilizes flight profiles that offer greater agility than other Russian cruise missiles.
Russia is the sole documented operator of the system, employing the missile during the conflict in Ukraine.
