I was wondering when Ukraine would recreate the V-1. Very similar, I’ll bet it even has a pulse jet engine

More likely a derivative of the Tu-143 or similar.

Tu-143 low wing, V-1 & Flamingo have a mid-wing. Tu-143 short range and recovered by parachute; V-1 a Flamingo one-way. Perhaps the most interesting aspect is a pulse jet engine, which while low efficiency has very few moving parts and is simple and cheap to manufacture. wave-engine.com/about/
