Source: Ukraine scales up advanced Neptune missile production – defense chief
That’s according to Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, Ukrinform reports.
“Missile Program. Progressing,” the minister wrote briefly, informing the public that he discussed plans for 2025, key areas of cooperation and arms industry development with Ukrainian missile manufacturers.
“On April 13, 2022, the Neptune missile system destroyed the flagship of russia’s Black Sea Fleet—the cruiser Moskva. This historic moment showcased the power of our national missile weaponry,” the Minister of Defense emphasized.
According to the defense chief, the country is scaling up the production of Ukrainian missiles. The first 100 missiles have already been produced this year. Serial production of R-360 Neptune cruise missiles has been successfully expanded, with upgrades enabling strikes at longer distances.
Also, new drone missiles are being developed, including the Palyanytsia, which is a “shining example” of successful cooperation between the state and the private sector. “We are also advancing partnerships with international allies in this field,” Umerov wrote.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, the modernized Neptun has been successfully engaging ground targets over the past year, so far, at a range of up to 400 km, and soon it will operate at a range of 1,000 km. The range of Germany’s TAURUS CL missiles is 500 km.
今年，乌克兰制造商已经生产了首批 100 枚导弹，并成功扩大了 R-360 海王星巡航导弹的批量生产。 这是国防部长鲁斯泰姆·乌梅罗夫的说法，Ukrinform 报道。 “导弹计划。正在取得进展，”部长简短地写道，并告知公众，他与乌克兰导弹制造商讨论了 2025 年的计划、关键合作领域和军工工业发展。 “2022 年 4 月 13 日，海王星导弹系统摧毁了俄罗斯黑海舰队的旗舰——巡洋舰莫斯科号。这一历史性时刻展示了我们国家导弹武器的威力，”国防部长强调。 国防部长称，该国正在扩大乌克兰导弹的生产。今年已经生产了首批 100 枚导弹。R-360 海王星巡航导弹的批量生产已成功扩大，升级后可进行更远距离的打击。 此外，乌克兰还在研发新型无人机导弹，其中包括 Palyanytsia，这是国家与私营部门成功合作的“光辉典范”。乌梅罗夫写道：“我们还在推进与国际盟友在这一领域的伙伴关系。” 正如乌克兰通讯社早些时候报道的那样，现代化的海王星在过去一年中成功打击了地面目标，射程可达 400 公里，很快它将达到 1,000 公里的射程。德国金牛座导弹的射程为 500 公里。
