  1. Hopefully hit its target. Will be looking for confirmation

  2. Can somebody tell me if Ukraine is also creating its own launchers for these missiles ?

  3. The missile’s blurb says 1150kg warhead, 3000km range.

    That’s a fairly serious munition.

    The weakness is that it’s a cruise missile, and it is clearly a big boy, so it will be easy meat for air defence if they pick it up early enough, especially as Ukraine doesn’t have a stockpile of them and don’t produce them rapidly yet.

    But if they pick targets carefully it could be a gigantic pain. You can do a lot of damage with a warhead that spicy. Bridges. Road and rail links. Anywhere that doesn’t have a lot to protect it is in play.

  4. That is such a satisfying amount of thrust from that first stage booster.

  5. I wish them well on their journey to a target deep in Russia. Godspeed, little gigantic missile.
