UKRAINE WAR: Putin's nightmare! Kiev produces its own missiles - range deep into enemy territory!
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi has promised to develop and build his own long-range missiles. In his daily video address, he emphasized the importance of the greatest possible independence in weapons and missile production. “Our missile program has good momentum, and although the task is difficult, we are gradually approaching the possibility of using our missiles and not just relying on the missiles supplied by our partners,” Zelenskyi said.
Ukraine's missile program has historical roots, as the republic was already a major site for Soviet missile production during the Soviet era. New types of missiles have been introduced since the start of hostilities in eastern Ukraine in 2014. According to Kiev, after the Russian invasion in 2022, it was able to sink the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet “Moskva” with missiles of its own production, which have a range of almost 300 kilometers.
Zelensky is planning to further increase this range in order to be able to use missiles as well as drones to attack military objects deep in the Russian hinterland. Moscow currently still has a clear advantage in this respect. Ukraine is not allowed to use Western weapons to fire at more distant objects in Russia, as Europeans and Americans fear a further escalation of the conflict beyond Ukraine.
Developing its own missiles is an important step for Ukraine to strengthen its defense capabilities and be less dependent on external supplies. Selensky emphasized that progress in the missile program is continuing despite the challenges.
