Ukrainian volunteer engineers are creating a new “Trembita” rocket that will be able to reach the capital of Russia, Moscow. The development is already at the final stage of testing, and serial production is planned to begin in the near future.

Details: It is noted that “Trembita” is a modern cruise missile that uses a remake of the impulse jet engine first used on the German V-1 bomb in 1944. The basic model of the rocket can cover a distance of 200 km at a speed of 400 km/h, but now engineers are working on an improved version capable of reaching Moscow.
Literally: “It is not known how long Ukraine can count on large-scale foreign military aid. Therefore, Trembita is one of several missile projects that Ukraine hopes will give impetus to the revival of domestic industry.”
Details: The rocket is being developed with an emphasis on low cost and high mobility. Thanks to this, “Trembita” will be able to effectively exhaust the enemy’s anti-aircraft defense. The cost of one rocket together with a warhead weighing 20-30 kg is only 15 thousand dollars and three thousand dollars in the decoy version.
Literally: “But Ukraine still needs time, which may not be enough. A senior security official says the country needs at least a year to produce missiles in numbers, ranges and capabilities that would seriously threaten Russia.”
Details: The development of “Trembita” takes place in response to Ukraine’s limited capabilities in the use of foreign long-range missiles. Most of the strikes are concentrated near the front line, which allows Russian troops to feel relatively safe. “Trembita” is designed to change this situation, becoming a cheap and effective solution for defeating strategic targets in the rear of Russian territory.
Prehistory:
- In May 2023, it became known that engineers from the volunteer design bureau PARS and with the participation of volunteers from the public organization “Vidsich” are engaged in the development of the combat missile “Trembita”, the range of which is 140 km. Volunteers want to deploy throughout Ukraine the production of individual parts and components of the rocket in the conditions of garage workshops.
