Ukraine will soon strike Russia with new ballistic missiles. At present Ukraine has made a breakthrough in its weapons developement. Ukraine’s domestically developed short-range Sapsan ballistic missile has successfully completed combat testing and is in the process of serial production, Ukrainian media reported.
The missile, with a payload of 480 kg, completed testing in May after successfully striking a Russian military target at a range of nearly 300 km, Valentyn Badrak, head of the an independent Ukrainian think Center for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies told Liganet.
Ukraine’s Defense Ministry reportedly dedicated a department to formulate and test the missile.
Named after the peregrine falcon, the fastest bird of prey, the Sapsan reflects its namesake’s core traits: speed, precision, and striking power. During recent tests, the missile reached a velocity of 5.2 Mach, approx. 6,370 km/h, significantly faster than the American ATACMS and nearly on par with Russia’s Iskander-M. “The first successful test of Ukraine’s first ballistic missile took place in July 2024,” Badrak confirms.
Ballistic missiles are notoriously hard to intercept due to their parabolic trajectory, a tactical advantage confirmed by battlefield experience.
“Even the older American ATACMS missiles have proven this in combat, as the enemy failed to intercept them,” the expert adds.
As reported in May 2025, Sapsan saw its first combat use, and it was an immediate success. The missile struck a Russian military target approximately 300 km away with high precision.
The Ministry of Defense has now greenlit full-scale production, and according to Badrak, “there are no obstacles remaining for this step.”
Beyond its speed, Sapsan boasts a powerful warhead of 480 kg, more than double the explosive payload of the standard US ATACMS – 227 kg.
“It’s clear Ukraine is moving toward missile force buildup — and this matters not only for today’s defense, but for securing the nation’s long-term future,” Badrak concludes.
Earlier, Mykola Shcherbakov, commander of a State Border Guard Sea Guard vessel, said the war in Ukraine is bringing revolutionary changes to modern military strategy.
Domestically produced long-range weapons are of key importance to Ukraine’s defense strategy, as Western partners have been slow in delivering adequate weaponry amid increasing Russian attacks and offensives.
