Ukraine has officially unveiled the Long Neptune, a new cruise missile with a 1,000 kilometer (621 mile) range, first confirmed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in March 2025. The missile, featured publicly on August 24 during Ukraine’s Independence Day, represents a major leap from the original Neptune’s 300 kilometer (190 mile) range.
Initially introduced in 2015, Neptunes became famous in April 2022 when they sank the Russian cruiser Moskva. Since then, upgraded land-attack versions have struck Russian air defenses and refineries. With the Long Neptune’s extended reach, critical Russian infrastructure as far as Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod is now within range, marking a significant escalation in Ukraine’s strike capability.
