>There are plans, the official added, to eventually strike Moscow and other targets inside Russia – precluded for use by donated weapons – with land attack variants of the Neptune.
Mmmmm
To quote myself from earlier:
I’m far from sure that’s a Neptune.
Remember, head of RNBO said, that strike on S-400 in Crimea was done by a Ukrainian-made missile, which was being developed since 2020. Neptune, on the other hand, is from 2015
The missile was fast enough to not be recorded on drone’s feed (i.e. passing through entire FOV faster than refresh rate of camera), likely making it supersonic.

And there’s exactly one missile that we know of, which fits it both – [Blyskavka the ramjet-powered cruise missile](https://defence-ua.com/weapon_and_tech/kb_pivdenne_u_detaljah_pokazala_nadzvukovu_raketu_bliskavka_foto-2509.html).
And moreover, [there were talks of ground-launched and ship-launched versions of Blyskavka](https://defence-ua.com/news/kb_pivdenne_adaptuje_raketu_bliskavka_pid_rizni_tipi_litakiv_ta_planuje_stvoriti_nazemnu_j_korabelnu_versiji_foto-3814.html).
Although if a modification was made to Neptune LAM to allow it to accelerate to supersonic speed on terminal phase, like some Kalibrs do…
