Ukraine tested a weapon that “hits deep into Russia”
In the Odessa region, new Ukrainian missile systems 360 MC "Neptune" were tested, designed to increase the combat potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the maritime sector in the waters of the Black and Azov Seas.
This was reported by the press service of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In the south of the Odessa region, at the Alibey training ground, the next tests of the Neptune ground-based cruise missile complex took place.
The National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine has determined the task of developing and serially producing the latest types of missile technology, in particular providing cruise missile systems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine to increase their combat potential at sea in the Black and Azov Seas.
During the firing of the Neptune ground-based cruise missile complex, the tactical and technical characteristics were checked, in particular, the range and accuracy of hitting sea targets. Surface targets were hit at a given range,” the report says.
During the tests, the missile was accompanied by two Ukrainian SU-27 fighters.
It should be noted that Neptune is the very same missile that, according to Ukrainian military experts, will be able to strike “deep into Russian territory . ”
As a reminder, Serhiy Shabovta, President of the All-Ukrainian Association of Security Market Operators, previously stated that the Neptune missile system cannot yet be considered a serious weapon , as there is no talk of launching it into production. He also noted that the statement by Ukrainian presidential adviser Yuriy Biryukov that the missile "can reach Sevastopol" demonstrates his incompetence and irresponsibility.
