Ukraine has produced the first 100 domestically manufactured missiles this year, — Ministry of Defence

Production of Ukrainian missiles is increasing. This year, the first 100 missiles have already been manufactured.

This was announced by the Minister of Defence of Ukraine, Rustem Umyerov.

The head of the Ministry of Defence participated in a meeting with Ukrainian missile weapon manufacturers, where plans for 2025, key areas of cooperation, and industry development were discussed.

"On April 13, 2022, the missile complex ’Neptune’ destroyed the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the cruiser ’Moskva’. This was a historic event and demonstrated the power of our national missile weapons. Today, we are increasing the production of Ukrainian missiles. The first 100 missiles have already been manufactured this year. The serial production of R-360 ’Neptune’ cruise missiles has been successfully expanded with improvements for hitting targets at greater distances," said Umyerov.

In addition, Ukraine is developing new missile drones, particularly ’Palyanytsia’. According to Umyerov, this is an example of successful collaboration between the state and the private sector.
