In parallel, the company is working on the next version of the system, Bars 2.0. A representative of the developer <a href=\"https:\/\/nv.ua\/ukr\/ukraine\/events\/raketa-dron-bars-virobnik-pro-udari-po-moskovskomu-npz-cinu-harakteristiki-50641953.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">discussed<\/a> the programme in an interview with NV. The publication has withheld the interviewee\u2019s identity for security reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bars production and cost<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company initially manufactured approximately 10 missile-drones per month, subsequently increasing production to 600 units. It now produces around 2,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/tags\/bars\/\">Bars<\/a> systems per month in various variants and configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The manufacturer does not disclose the exact unit cost of Bars. However, the representative denied reports that each system costs $500,000, stating that the actual figure is several times lower. The cost depends on the configuration, with aircraft optionally fitted with cameras and more powerful antennas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specifications and variants<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early versions of Bars carried a 22 kg warhead and had a range of approximately 700 km. The warhead has now been <a href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/2026\/09\/bars-new-specs\/\">increased<\/a> to 60 kg, the operational range exceeds 1,000 km and the maximum speed reaches 700 km\/h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bars is available in different configurations depending on the mission. The <a href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/tags\/deep-strike\/\">deep-strike<\/a> variant flies to predetermined coordinates, while the <a href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/tags\/mid-strike\/\">mid-strike<\/a> variant carries a camera and is controlled by an operator. Special operations units employ the latter version over the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, in temporarily occupied Crimea and across other occupied territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combat deployment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around six months ago, the manufacturer had recorded more than 200 Bars combat missions. According to the representative, that number has since increased significantly. He identified oil refineries, power stations and electrical substations among the <a href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/tags\/strike-drones\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"1406\">missile-drones<\/a>\u2019 targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company representative also confirmed that Bars systems were used in the strike on the Moscow Oil Refinery. According to him, some of the aircraft penetrated three layers of Russian air defences and successfully struck their targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The manufacturer continues working to improve the system\u2019s effectiveness. The company\u2019s target is a successful strike rate of at least 75%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Export plans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company is negotiating the supply and international production of Bars. In particular, the manufacturer has <a href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/tags\/strike-drones\/\">received a request<\/a> from Germany that was approved by the Ukrainian Government. Bilateral discussions between the Ukrainian and German governments are continuing in parallel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company representative identified access to components and jet engine production as possible areas of cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negotiations are also under way with the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France, Belgium and the UAE. According to the manufacturer, detailed negotiations are already taking place, although he did not report any signed export contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bars 2.0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company is developing the next version of the missile-drone, Bars 2.0, but has not yet disclosed its specifications. Large-scale deployment of the new version is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company is also already testing and deploying systems of another class in combat. According to the manufacturer, these systems are considerably larger than both the current Bars and Bars 2.0. He disclosed no further details about these developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/2026\/09\/bars-new-specs\/\">Read also: Ukraine\u2019s Bars jet-powered drone to enter production in Germany, with range extended to 1,000 km and warhead payload to 60 kg<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manufactured Bars missile-drones rarely remain in storage, as Ukraine\u2019s Defence Forces deploy them regularly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":33863,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","_featured_category_order":0,"_article_badge":"featured","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[1770,517,127,2312,1406],"class_list":["post-102102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-innovation","tag-bars","tag-deep-strike","tag-drones","tag-mid-strike","tag-strike-drones","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u0412 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0456 \u0432\u0438\u0440\u043e\u0431\u043b\u044f\u044e\u0442\u044c 2000 \u0440\u0430\u043a\u0435\u0442\u043e-\u0434\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0456\u0432 &quot;\u0411\u0430\u0440\u0441&quot;
