Ukraine has taken a significant step towards the creation of its own missile with a range of up to 700 kilometers. The first vice-president of the National Academy of Sciences, Volodymyr Horbulin, and the director of the Army Research Center, Valentyn Badrak, reported that the new Ukrainian ballistic missile can reach such distances, LIGA net informs. strong>The development of the new missile became possible thanks to the restoration of the old project of the operational-tactical missile complex (OTRK) "Sapsan". At first it was planned to be completed in in 2012, but due to a lack of funding and political obstacles the project was frozen After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the project was revived and funded in 2022.

High speed and the possibility of mass use make “Palyanytsa” an effective tool in the fight against Russian aviation.
