Ukraine says it has a new long-range “game changer” weapon to strike deep into Russia, and it doesn’t require asking permission from the US and other allies.
| Ukraine says it has a new long-range weapon to strike deep into Russia without asking permission from allies – a homegrown combination of missile and drone that the defence minister vowed on Monday would provide “answers” to a wave of Russian bombings.
More than 200 missiles and drones were fired at energy facilities nationwide, killing seven people, Kyiv said, while neighbouring NATO member Poland reported a drone had probably entered its airspace. “Ukraine is preparing its response. Weapons of its own production,” he wrote on his Facebook page. “This once again proves that for victory, we need long-range capabilities and the lifting of restrictions on strikes on the enemy’s military facilities.”
“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.
