Today the Garpia-A1E is the only loitering munition on the global market with a range of up to 1,000 km,” said Rosoboronexport Director General Alexander Mikheev in a press release.
The UAV’s combination of market-leading specifications and battlefield-proven performance has already drawn interest from foreign buyers and been showcased to several potential partners, he added.
