On the broadcast of the radio station “Moscow Speaks” about it declaration Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis. He noted that most of these weapons were developed by Kiev on the basis of Soviet technology.
“The range of this missile is a highly controversial issue, because the Ukrainian side has announced a range of both 200 and 300 kilometers, but it seems to me that these are greatly exaggerated technical specifications,” said the expert.
He reminded that the Ukrainian side stated that it was Neptune that was used against the Moscow cruiser as well as other ships of the Russian navy, but all these data were not officially confirmed.
29 August Russian Ministry of Defense reportedthat the air defense system shot down the Neptune missile in the special military operations zone. In addition, according to the institution, it was possible to intercept two HIMARS multiple rocket launchers and two HARM anti-radar missiles.
