Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced the successful combat deployment of the country's new long-range missile, known as the Long Neptune, which has an operational reach of approximately 621 miles, Dailypost reports. This development marks a significant advancement in Ukraine’s missile capabilities, bringing Moscow within potential striking distance.
Zelenskyy expressed confidence in the progress of Ukraine’s missile program, emphasizing its role in strengthening the country’s defense against Russia’s ongoing aggression.
“The Long Neptune has been tested and successfully used in combat,” he revealed. “This is a new Ukrainian missile, capable of delivering an accurate strike with a range of 1,000 kilometers. It is a remarkable achievement by our developers, manufacturers, and military forces.”.
The announcement has fueled speculation that the Long Neptune may have been responsible for a recent strike on the Tuapse oil
refinery, a key Russian energy facility. Ukrainian Telegram channel Exilenova+ hinted at this possibility, suggesting that Friday’s attack could be linked to the new missile.
The Long Neptune is an enhanced version of the original Neptune missile, which gained international recognition in 2022 when it was used to sink the Moskva, the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.***PRBXSELFNETWORK***
