The agency reports a 745-mile range and first deployment around September–October 2026, identifying foreign electronics and some 3D-printed parts in the weapon.
Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, GUR, has disclosed details of Russia’s Filin cruise missile, reportedly first deployed around September and October 2026. Tom’s Hardware relayed the disclosure on October 24, reporting a speed of approximately 500 mph and a range of 745 miles. These are reported specifications, not independent test results.
The disclosure comes during Russia’s multi-year war in Ukraine, which has already seen widespread use of drones. Filin is described as a cruise missile—a powered, guided weapon—rather than simply a printed airframe.
According to GUR’s account, Filin has a carbon-and-fiberglass fuselage, or main body, and some 3D-printed parts. That describes a mix of materials and manufacturing methods, not an entirely 3D-printed missile.
The agency identified Russian-made engines and foreign electronics for flight control, navigation, equipment control and resistance to electronic jamming. The navigation equipment includes inertial systems, which track movement to estimate position.

GUR said reliance on commercially available domestic and foreign parts helped keep costs low. 3D printing alone does not establish that a weapon is cheaper to manufacture.
