IEMZ Kupol develops jet-powered Garpiya variants and KamAZ-mounted multi-drone launcher

Published 3 October 2026

Russian Military Informant reports that IEMZ Kupol — the Almaz-Antey subsidiary behind Garpiya — has developed jet-propelled Garpiya variants, extending a line previously limited to the piston-engined A1. Alongside these, imagery shows a mobile multi-drone launcher mounted on a KamAZ-5350 truck chassis capable of ripple-firing several drones, indicating a shift toward rapid-salvo ground-launch independent of fixed airfields.
