Ukraine's 'Long Neptune' missile with 620-mile range 'successfully tested'

Ukraine, led by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has successfully combat tested its new Long Neptune missile, a weapon with a 621-mile range that can now reach Moscow.
The Long Neptune is a development of a weapon that sank the Moskva in 2022, Putin's Black Sea Fleet flagship.
According to Zelenskyy, Kyiv has achieved significant results with its missile program, including the successful testing and combat use of the Long Neptune.
These made-in-Ukrainian munitions, including the Long Neptune and potentially air-launched glide bombs and ground-launched ballistic missiles, aim to provide defense against Vladimir Putin and reduce Ukraine's reliance on the United States and Europe, though Ukraine still has a partial dependency.
As Zelensky's government prepares for a protracted war and continued attacks inside Russia, he pledged that Ukraine would produce 100,000 long-range munitions, including Long Neptune and far-flying drones capable of traveling over 1,000 miles, by 2025.
