Ukraine has introduced a new version of its Neptune cruise missile, now capable of striking targets over 600 miles away. This missile has already been used in combat against Russian positions. The Long Neptune missile is an upgraded version of the original anti-ship missile, modified for land attacks. It was developed by the Luch Design Bureau and has been in production for some time. Recent reports indicate that the Long Neptune was used to target an oil refinery in Tuapse, Russia, about 300 miles from the front lines. This development enhances Ukraine's deep-strike capabilities and reflects its growing defense industry.
