Russia’s Strikes Will Annihilate Any Ukrainian Attempt to Build Missile Reaching Moscow - Expert

Amid Russia’s steady advance on the front line the Ukrainian regime has been facing growing concerns that the future Donald Trump administration might refuse to transfer new military support packages to Kiev. Hence, Ukraine's scramble to build its own long-range weapons systems.

If Ukraine builds a long-range weapons system able to reach Moscow, Russia’s high-precision strikes will wipe out its production lines, military expert and historian of the Air Defense Forces Yuri Knutov said.

Once Russia receives reliable information that such weapons have been created or are in the final stages, the corresponding workshops will be targeted with hypersonic and cruise missiles, he said. The expert was weighing in on a report in The Economist claiming that Ukraine was brainstorming on how to increase the range of its missile, called Trembita, so that it could reach Moscow. Currently, the missile has a speed of up to 400 km/h and a range of 200 km.
