Ukraine says it has a new homegrown long-range weapon that will allow it to strike deep into Russia without asking permission from allies.
KYIV, Ukraine —
A Ukrainian military video hinted that its range is up to 700 kilometers — on par with the U.S.-supplied ATACMS. It showed a map with various airfields, including Russia’s Savasleyka air base, which lies within that range, adding that the Palianytsia can reach at least 20 Russian airfields.
“I think this will be a game changer because we will be able to strike where Russia doesn’t expect it today,” he said. “This is not an extension of an old Soviet project,” said the specialist, speaking on condition of anonymity to safeguard the project’s secrecy. The missile has a solid-fuel booster that accelerates it, followed by a jet engine, the specialist said.said Russia has launched 9,627 long-range missiles and Ukraine’s defense shot down only a quarter of them, and that more than half the Russian targets were civilian.
