Ukraine Is Working On A 1,200-Mile Missile That Could Strike Across A Third Of Russia

A purpose-built cruise missile would allow the Ukrainians to strike far-away targets more frequently and with greater precision.

This isn’t just speculation. In one of his last interviews before Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky fired him on Sunday, disgraced former Ukrainian defense minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that, in order to hit targets deep inside Russia proper, Ukraine’s military needs a munition capable of traveling 2,000 kilometers. That’s 1,240 miles, roughly a third the distance across Russia from east to west.

Though the objective announced by Ukraine's defense minister of creating own missile with operational range more than 1,000 km looks complex and large-scale, the country's defense industry already has a record of previous works done in this direction to make this ambitious program a reality

Isn't that kurshun or k-55 ish ? Something like that was shown with grom back in the day.

And if produced, such a development would only give a signal to Russia to hit back across the whole country taking the conflict outwith its current regional confines :/

Russia has used cruise missiles and drones against every major city and industrial area across Ukraine during this war.

I guess those 40 miles west of Lviv that have been previously off limits? Oh, wait, I'm being told that they flew a CM through Poland to hit a target in Western Ukraine. Never mind.

First 1000km for Hrim-2:


Korshun-2 range:


Whilst Korshun-2 only reaches across a third of Russia it reaches about 75% of all Russian military installations. Basically all the ones in Europe.

I guess this may be a future engine for it or other missiles.

According to Igor Sushko on November 3, 2023, Ukraine deployed an improved variant of its Hrim-2 short-range ballistic missile system, successfully striking a Russian target at a range of 700 km. This surprising revelation came from Brigadier General Serhiy Baranov, head of the Main Directorate of Missile Forces and Artillery and Unmanned Systems of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, during an interview with Armiya FM.

It's "Grim-2" not "Hrim-2". Grim (ukr) - Grom (rus) - Thunder (eng)

No, it is Hrim. In Ukrainian (just like in Slovak, Czech, Belarusian and Southern Russian dialects) the Proto-Slavic voiced velar stop *g has been lenited to a voiced spirant (a voiced laryngeal spirant [ɦ] like in the English word hill in Ukrainian, Slovak and Czech, a voiced velar spirant [] like the Dutch pronunciation of <g> in Belarusian and Southern Russian). In Ukrainian, the voiced velar stop /g/ (written with the Cyrillic letter <ґ> and romanised <g>) only exists in recent, mostly Polish, loanwords and the Cyrillic letter <г> should be pronounced similarly to the English word-initial /h/. This voiced laryngeal spirant then also contrasts with the voiceless velar spirant /x/ (the same as the German Ach-Laut and Russian <х>), written with the Cyrillic letter <x> and romanised in widely different ways, including <kh>, <x>, <ch> and <h'>. It should also be noted that while an opposition between /g/ and /h/ exists in Ukrainian, it does not exist in Surzhyk where there only exists /h/ (in opposition to /x/) which causes many "Russian-speaking" Ukrainians being completely unable to pronounce a voiced velar spirant [g].

The credibility of Igor Sushko as a specialist in anything bar car racing is bellow zero.
