Ukraine has started a project to develop its own long-range missile. This was announced by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov. He stated that Ukraine has good prospects in producing its own long-range missiles with a range of 1,000 km or more to defeat enemy targets.

“We have an officially approved missile program. Funds have already been officially allocated from the budget for this. Reznikov said that the implementers of this program are 100 percent Ukrainian.

At the same time, he showed the successful example of the Ukrainian anti-ship missile project Neptune, which managed to sink the Russian flagship Moscow.

“You and I have very good hopes of having Ukrainian missiles with a range of more than a thousand kilometers,” Reznikov said.

In addition, the minister said that Ukraine’s Western partners are often hesitant to supply a new type of weapon, fearing that the situation will worsen at another level.

“I convinced them very strongly to give us the Harpoon anti-ship missiles we needed to protect our Odessa coast and port centres… When we hit the Moscow ship Neptunes, it was decided to give us the Harpoon within a week. Our partners have 200, 300 and 400 km of our missiles. “I’m sure ATACMS and the others will show up as soon as I know you’ve flown more than .

We will remind you that the Sapsan long-range operational-tactical missile system (OTRK) should be the most powerful weapon in Ukraine. It can hit a target at a distance of up to 500 km. For example, the distance from the Ukrainian border to Moscow is about 480 km. Source
