Ukraine Strikes Russia with New Neptune Missile – Forbes.

Ukraine has successfully tested and deployed the 'Long Neptune' missile with a range of one thousand kilometers. According to Forbes, the missile damaged an oil refinery in the Russian city of Tuapse.

The use of the 'Long Neptune', as announced by President Zelensky, likely occurred on March 14 at the oil refinery in Tuapse, which is located approximately 480 kilometers from the front of the Ukrainian conflict.

'This attack on Tuapse was the latest in a series of Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil facilities that have reduced production by 10% last year,' the statement noted.

Recall that during a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the Ukrainian 'Long Neptune' missile is capable of attacking targets at a distance of 1000 kilometers and has successfully passed testing and deployment.

According to the First Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Ivan Havryliuk, the Ukrainian defense industry is working on creating a long-range version of the missiles for the RK-360MC 'Neptune' system.

The system, developed by the Ukrainian design bureau 'Luch', is intended for attacks on enemy combat ships.

Earlier, it was known that the P-360 'Neptune' missile was supposed to reach a range of 280 kilometers at a speed of 900 km/h.

Following the announcement of a threat of an aerial attack on the night of March 14 in the city of Tuapse, located in the Krasnodar Krai of the Russian Federation, explosions occurred. As a result of the attack on the oil refinery, a fire broke out.
