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.
