Threat to 59 Russian bases: "Neptune" will increase range to 1000 km for purposes in the depths of the Russian Federation - media (map)

According to journalists, the release of long -range missiles will expand the opportunities for long -haired shocks in the objects in the Russian Federation. Ukraine has winged Storm Shadow and Scalp air base missiles, as well as ATACMS, but their stocks are limited. In 2024, Ukraine will increase the production of Neptune missiles in ten times, and the radius of its own production missiles will expand.

This was stated by Jane Harman, Mara Radman and Roger Zacheim from the US National Defense Strategy Commission, Newsweek reports. The mentioned commission analyzes the US defense reserves and a global situation in terms of security. "Next year, Neptune will increase the range to 1000 kilometers, which will open the way to goals in the depths of Russia," the Real Clear Politics reported in the Real Clear Politics report.

Neptune is based on a ripple of the anti-ship Rocket X-35 of Russian Development. The new Ukrainian rocket is also compared to the American "Harpun". The production of long -range missiles will expand the ability to damage objects in the Russian territory. Among other things, Ukraine has winged Storm Shadow and Scalp air base missiles, as well as ATACMS, but their reserves are limited.

The increase in the production of domestic missiles opens up opportunities for defeating Russian ships at a greater distance, OSINT analytics said. "This will allow Ukraine to hit Russian ships at a greater distance and reach 59 out of 99 Russian PKS bases," the publication reads. Kiev also announced the Neptune version for ground attacks.

Alexei Danilov, the former NSDC Secretary, said that a new modern rocket worked perfectly during an attack on the Russian air defense system in the western part of the Crimea at the end of August 2023. The updated version of "Neptune" was used, journalists say. "Ideally, anti -ship missiles are not the best remedy for ground -based attacks. After all, such missiles were specifically designed for the drowning of well -protected warships.

However, Ukraine encountered a significant shortage of long -range systems," - said in September 2023, missile expert Jan Janims. Against the background of reports of the new capabilities of Neptune missiles on April 16, information appeared that Kyiv's representatives decided to leave the agreement with the Russian Federation and Turkey, which would regulate safe navigation in the Black Sea. Although the agreement has already been practically agreed.

About it reports Reuters with reference to sources. According to journalists, through Istanbul Moscow and Kiev, for two months, they tried to negotiate a safe navigation in the Black Sea. However, "Ukraine suddenly came out of the game in the last minute, and the agreement was thwarted. " It should be reminded that, according to President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, the Russian Federation destroyed Trypillian TPP due to lack of missiles for its protection.
