In Ukraine, they work on a new modification of Neptune rocket - the Ministry of Defense

According to the Deputy Ministry of Defense Ivan Havrylyuk, work on the creation of a "long" Neptune goes to cooperation with other ministries. Deputy Minister of Defense Lieutenant General Ivan Gavrilyuk in an interview for the Armyinform said that the defense-industrial complex was working on the development of a long-range version of the Neptune missile.

According to Havrylyuk, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Vladimir Zelensky has identified a number of tasks for a defense-industrial complex for the production of different weapons: not only state-owned companies but also private companies were involved in this process, including those that produce double-purpose goods. "The work is underway to create the so -called long" Neptune ". It is a new modification of the missile for the Neptune complex.

Active work is also underway with the Ministry of Strategic Industry to strengthen the air defense system," Gavriluk said. It should be added that Havrylyuk did not indicate the appointment of a rocket because the first version was anti -ship and was intended for strokes for marine purposes. It is probably about the ground version of the winged rocket.

In April, The War Zone was reported with reference to a representative of the Ukrainian OPC, which in Ukraine is working on a far more far -wing version of the Neptune missile. To do this, it must get a new guidance system, a larger combat part and a range up to 400 km. We will remind, on September 23 the chief of GUR Kirill Budanov reported that "Neptune" is modernized and developed, but the problem is currently in the number of missiles.
