Ukraine will receive domestic ballistic and winged missiles by the end of the war - Chmut

Before the start of a full -scale war in Ukraine, there were at least two projects for the creation of rockets. Grimm with a range of up to 500 km and Neptune RC, which can be processed for larles for terrestrial purposes. Taras Chmut, director of the "Come back alive," during a session of the questions on Twitter, answered the question of whether Ukraine will receive its own missiles by the end of the war. He wrote about it on the evening of June 14.

Taras Chmut made a session of questions on Twitter on June 14. The user with Nick "Kyiv" asked if Ukraine will be winged and ballistic missiles in Ukraine by the end of the war. The Director of the Fund answered in the affirmative. Prior to the commencement of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, various enterprises developed or spoke of intentions to develop Ukrainian missiles. The Grim Tactical Tactical Complex is one of these projects.

Back in 2006, the first attempts began to create a replacement for the Soviet "point B". The development was called "Sapsan", "Thunder" is an export name. Plans to create a rocket that will be able to strike targets up to 500 km in the Armed Forces version and up to 280 km in export version were announced. Due to the lack of funding, the project never went into the series.

It is known that one or two cars with 12 missiles were created for the financing of Saudi Arabia, but it is unknown whether they were handed over to the customer. As of 2021, the readiness of Thunder, according to the Ministry of Defense, exceeded 80%. After the commencement of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, rumors of the use of Sapsan missiles repeatedly appeared. In September 2022, the SBU was detained by an employee of KB "Southern", who worked at the FSB.

She had data with the "secret" stamp. According to the investigation, she conveyed to the Russians the information that the development of "thunder" was almost over. Then "Ukrainian Pravda" wrote that according to her "Grim" is actively developing, but officials refuse to comment on information. The Russian Federation has repeatedly argued about the alleged interception of missiles of Grimm.

If the Grimm was a ballistic complex, the winged rocket's winged rocket could be obtained by recycling Neptune. The winged rocket RK-360 "Neptune" is created for strokes for maritime purposes. However, the chief designer of SCKB "Luch" Oleg Korostelov said that the rocket can be processed to defeat land purposes. This required additional funding. The range of the marine version of the rocket is 280 km. Finally, in August 2021, Ukraine approved the missile program by 2031.
