Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about the country's missile program, revealing which missiles Ukraine uses to strike targets inside Russia while responding to questions from journalists.
He said Ukraine is already deploying the Long Neptune, Palianytsia, Flamingo, and Sapsan missiles.
"I won't discuss numbers. The Neptunes are working very well," he emphasized.
In September, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was actively developing long-range weapons. He noted that tests had been successful and that the next step was launching serial production.
Ukraine has begun serial production of Flamingo cruise missiles with a range of up to 3,000 kilometers. According to the President, mass production will ramp up by the end of the year.
On Friday, December 5, the company Fire Point delivered another batch of Flamingo cruise missiles to Ukrainian forces.
Western media have reported that the Flamingo's performance surpasses that of the US Tomahawk cruise missile, with a larger warhead and a longer range.
In August, Ukraine officially showcased the R-360 Neptune, known as the Long Neptune, for the first time. No official specifications were released at the time.
Reports also suggested that Western observers have identified four versions of the Neptune missile, though analysts at Defense Express have expressed doubts about this.
