During a joint operation of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Ukrainian Navy, an ammunition storage depot in the Rostov region, Russia, was hit using the Neptune missile recently.
About Neptune Missile:
An R-360 Neptune is a Ukrainian-developed subsonic cruise missile initially designed as an anti-ship missile and later modified for land attacks.
The design of this missile is based on a Russian Kh-35 cruise missile which goes by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) name of AS-20 Kayak.
The system entered service with the Ukrainian Navy in March 2021.
Features:
The missile weighs 870 kg and is 5.05 meters long.
The missile travels at speeds of up to 900 km/h and can fly at altitudes ranging from 10 to 300 meters, dropping to just three meters during its final approach to avoid enemy air defenses.
It has a maximum range of 400 km and a combat weight of 350 kilograms (150 kg in the anti-ship version).
A satellite positioning system was installed to guide the missile during the flight’s marching phase.
In the final part of the flight, the missile is guided by an infrared homing system.
