Editing V-1 flying bomb (section)

===France===
After reverse-engineering captured V-1s in 1946, the French began producing copies for use as [[target drone]]s, starting in 1951. These were called the [[ARSAERO CT 10]] and were smaller than the V-1. The CT 10 could be ground-launched using [[JATO|solid rocket boosters]] or air-launched from a [[LeO 45]] bomber. More than 400 were produced, some of which were exported to the UK, Sweden, and Italy.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Winter |first1=Frank |last2=Neufeld |first2=Michael J. |title=Missile, Cruise, V-1 (Fi 103, FZG 76) |url=https://www.si.edu/object/nasm_A19720633000 |website=National Air and Space Museum |publisher=[[Smithsonian Institution]] |access-date=1 May 2018 |date=August 2000}}</ref>

===Soviet Union===
The Soviet Union captured V-1s when they overran the [[Blizna V-2 missile launch site|Blizna test range]] in Poland, as well as from the [[Mittelwerk]].{{sfn|Christopher|2013|p=193}} The 10Kh was their copy of the V-1, later called [[10Kh|Izdeliye 10]].{{sfn|Christopher|2013|p=193}} Initial tests began in March 1945 at a test range in [[Tashkent]],{{sfn|Christopher|2013|p=193}} with further launches from ground sites and from aircraft of improved versions continuing into the late 1940s. The inaccuracy of the guidance system when compared with new methods such as [[beam-riding]] and [[TV guidance]] saw development end in the early 1950s.{{sfn|Zaloga|2005|p=80}}

The Soviets also worked on a piloted attack aircraft based on the Argus pulsejet engine of the V-1, which began as a German project, the [[Junkers EF 126]] {{lang|de|Lilli}}, in the latter stages of the war. The Soviet development of the {{lang|de|Lilli}} ended in 1946 after a crash that killed the test pilot.{{sfn|Christopher|2013|p=193}}
===United States===

The United States reverse-engineered the V-1 in 1944 from salvaged parts recovered in England during June. By 8 September, the first of thirteen complete prototype [[Republic-Ford JB-2]], was assembled at [[Republic Aviation]]. The United States JB-2 was different from the German V-1 in only the smallest of dimensions, with only [[Republic-Ford JB-2#Wartime development|the forward pulsejet support pylon visibly differing in shape]] from the original German pilotless ordnance design. The wingspan was only {{cvt|2+1/2|in|mm|round=5|order=flip|abbr=on}} wider and the length was extended less than {{cvt|2|ft|m|1|order=flip}}. The difference gave the JB-2 {{convert|60.7|sqft|m2|order=flip|abbr=on}} of wing area versus {{convert|55|sqft|m2|order=flip|abbr=on}} for the V-1.{{sfn|Mindling|Bolton|2009|p={{page needed|date=February 2012}} }}

A navalised version, designated KGW-1, was developed to be launched from [[Landing Ship, Tank|LSTs]] as well as [[escort carrier]]s (CVEs) and long-range 4-engine reconnaissance aircraft. Waterproof carriers for the KGW-1 were developed for launches of the missile from surfaced submarines. Both the USAAF JB-2 and Navy KGW-1 were put into production and were planned to be used in the Allied invasion of Japan ([[Operation Downfall]]). However, the surrender of Japan obviated the need for its use.{{sfn|Mindling|Bolton|2009|p={{page needed|date=February 2012}} }} After the end of the war, the JB-2/KGW-1 played a significant role in the development of more advanced surface-to-surface tactical missile systems such as the [[MGM-1 Matador]] and [[SSM-N-8 Regulus]].{{sfn|Zaloga|2020|p=33}}
