Evidence & current status

US government attribution of development and production. Numerical specifications and current delivered inventory are not supplied in this record.

Role & programme

A Russian long-range one-way aircraft family whose production network is described in a US Treasury attribution published in October 2024.

Treasury’s action identifies the Garpiya programme and Chinese industrial participation. Such attribution establishes a production-network account, not a complete airframe specification or proof of performance. A1 and subsequent Garpiya reports should be tracked separately as evidence improves. It is not the Israeli HARPY despite similar English spelling.

Sourced specifications

Figures apply to the named configuration. Maximum values are not guaranteed operating performance.
