Ukrainians created good missiles, of course, not without the help of the West, but still good ones. Are there any characteristics of them somewhere, or is it still a secret?

If you're asking about most recent missile-drone Peklo, here you go:

According to public information, it's range is about 700km and speed is up to 700 km/h with warhead up to 50kg.
It's all cool, but main issue is mass production. Ukraine is capable to make quality drones and missiles, but they can't produce significant number of it.

Just for some perspective, here's the specs on the 80 year old piston engine Mosquito from WW-II:

Max Speed: 668 km/h (comp. 700km/h)
Range: 2100 km (comp. 700km)
Bomb Load: 1800kg (comp. 50kg)

True, the range goes down significantly with a full bomb load, but the numbers are so dominating that a pretty healthy adjustment could be made.

I'll go with the Oreshnik, thank you very much.
