Ukraine's Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said that the Palianytsia missile has entered mass production. Their use does not require coordination with Western partners.

Umerov wrote about this in an article for LB.ua on Wednesday, December 4.

Production of the Palyanytsya missile

The Defense Minister noted that the serial production of R-360 cruise missiles of the Neptune complex has been resumed and scaled up. The modified missiles are now capable of hitting targets at a longer range.

"Private enterprises are also showing incredible results. For example, a new startup has implemented the Palianytsia missile project, which has already entered mass production thanks to the support of the Ministry of Defense," Umerov said.

The strategic importance of Ukraine's own missiles is that their use does not require coordination with Western partners.

Earlier, we reported that Ukraine has successfully scaled up mass production of advanced Neptune missiles designed to hit targets at long distances.

As stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian army has become one of the most powerful in the world, and in terms of technological development, Ukraine's troops have become the strongest in Europe. The state is currently working on the production of its own weapons, including missiles.
