The Tupolev Tu-143 Cruise is a Soviet jet propelled unmanned aerial vehicle that would probably be described today as a Cold War drone. The prototype flight took place in 1970. Serial production was carried out in the years 1973-1989. About 950 drones of this type were created in its course. The length of this aircraft was 8.06 meters with a wingspan of 2.24 meters. The propulsion was provided by a single Izotow TR3-117 turbojet engine with a thrust of 6.28 kN. The maximum speed was estimated at approx. 920 km / h, and the maximum range - at approx. 190-200 kilometers.

Work on the Tu-143 began at the end of the 1960s, and their goal was to create an unmanned aerial vehicle to replace the La-17R aircraft of the same type in line. The new "drone" of the Soviet Army was developed on the basis of the Tu-141 aircraft designed at that time in the Tupolev office. However, compared to the Tu-141, it was significantly reduced and equipped with a lower thrust engine. These changes resulted from the fact that the combat radius of the Tu-143 was supposed to be about 60-70 kilometers. The Tupolev Tu-143 Cruise was introduced to the Soviet Army, but it was also exported to, among others, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Syria and - perhaps - Bulgaria. It is highly probable that it was used by the Syrian army in 1982 and almost certainly by the Soviet forces during the 1979-1989 war in Afghanistan.
