Ukraine is already successfully using the Neptune and Flamingo cruise missiles in tandem for strikes on Russia.
President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this during a conversation with journalists, as reported by Ukrinform.
According to him, there are the first noticeable results from using this domestic weapon.
“Last week – I won’t say how many, but there has been the use of our Neptune and Flamingo pair. The corresponding results can be analyzed independently. We are not suggesting that this is the mass use of this pair. We are simply saying that there has been usage, and there are the first noticeable results from this particular weapon of ours,” Zelensky said.
Commenting on the strikes deep into Russia in response, the president noted that there is also positive progress in this regard.
Ukraine’s Flamingo long-range cruise missiles made their first public mass salvo at targets in enemy-controlled territory at the end of August. The strike targeted an FSB outpost and patrol boats in temporarily occupied Crimea near Armyansk.
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine recently presented a new, previously unknown version of the Ukrainian-made Neptune cruise missile.
