Neptune Missiles – A Triumph of Ukraine's Defense Industry
Ukraine's Neptune cruise missile, which sank the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, the Moskva, at the start of the full-scale invasion, is hailed as the crowning achievement of the country's defense industry.
The Neptune cruise missile is considered the crowning achievement of Ukraine's defense industry. It first demonstrated its combat effectiveness at the very beginning of the full-scale invasion, when it sent the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, the Moskva, to the seabed.
