#Neptune

Ukraine has officially revealed its long-rumored long-range Neptune cruise missile, a weapon capable of striking targets up to 1,000 kilometers away. The missile—unofficially dubbed the “Long Neptune”—was shown publicly for the first time in a government video released on Independence Day.

Most countries don’t have long-range cruise missiles like this. Ukraine built the 1,000-km Neptune in just three years.

Ukraine’s vital efforts in developing its missile capabilities is a mission rooted in a long history of missile production and driven by the urgent need to defend against Russian aggression.
