Other features: The Steppe Wind is a middle-strike drone designed to engage stationary targets, armored vehicles, and personnel deployment sites, featuring optical terminal guidance for the final phase of its mission. Requiring no specialized infrastructure, the system deploys in up to 20 minutes and launches from a starting cradle without a catapult, utilizing excess thrust for its catapult-free takeoff. It supports automatic, semi-automatic, and manual control modes, relying primarily on radio communications to operate in environments where Starlink is unavailable, though Starlink is supported as an optional communication link.
