Now work is underway to create the so-called long Neptune. In addition, work continues to modernize the Buk and S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems. Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Ivan Gavrilyuk, spoke about this in an interview with the ArmyInform News Agency.
They want to adapt the R-360 missile of the Neptune complex to destroy ground targets. The probable range of such a missile can reach 400 km (versus 300 km in the anti-ship version). The warhead will be 350 kg (versus 150 kg).
Let us recall that in August, the Ukrainian Neptune cruise missile destroyed the Russian 48Ya6-K1 Podlet air reconnaissance radar and the 5P85SM2-0 S-400 launcher in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
