A rocket capable of impressing targets at a distance of 1000 kilometers has become not only longer but also thick.

Ukraine for the first time publicly demonstrated a long -range rocket modification Ukraine for the first time publicly demonstrated a long -range modification of the Neptune missile / ScreenshotFor the first time, Ukraine has publicly demonstrated a long-range modification of the winged rocket R-360 “Neptune”, known under the unofficial name “Long Neptune”.

According to “Defense Express”, in March, this version of the rocket was tested and showed the ability to hit targets up to 1000 km. At the same time, it became known about its creation in November 2023, but to date there was no image of it. The situation has changed on the Independence Day of Ukraine: a video appeared on the official account of the State portal “Weapons”, where “Long Neptune” is likely to be demonstrated, along with other samples of domestic weapons.

In the video, analysts say, the rocket is not named, but characteristic X-shaped complex wings leave little doubt about its identification. At the same time, it is worth noting that the launch video used in the video is not new – it was removed during the fire tests of the coastal complex “Neptune” in 2018-2020.

The official characteristics of the new rocket have not been disclosed at this time, but previously reported that the range of its flight is up to 1000 km, and the appointment is a lesion of ground targets. Given that from March “long Neptune” is already used in the enemy, it is unlikely that its appearance has become a surprise for the Russians.

Experts have evaluated the characteristics of a rocketScreenshotScreenshotComparison with the first version of the P-360 allows experts to draw some conclusions. Probably, the tail part with the engine is unchanged, so it can be used as a “landmark” to determine the scale. This means that the length of the new rocket exceeds 6 meters (without accelerator), that is, it is about 1.5 meters longer than the base P-360.

In addition, the central part of the “long Neptune” fuselage was markedly increased in diameter – approximately 50 cm instead of 38 cm. Thus, the rocket became not only longer, but also “thicker”. This is obviously done to increase fuel. The nasal wrapper thus remained the same diameter.

Accordingly, the area of ​​the wings and tail plumage has increased, which allows to compensate for a higher runoff. In the basic modification, the weight of the combat part was 150 kg, but the parameters of the new version are currently unknown.

“We will add that the State portal” Weapons “is positioned as a place with all state services and programs for weapons manufacturers, as well as in the role of a single brand for Ukrainian weapons. It was created by the Ministry of Strategic Industry, which ceased to exist on July 21, 2025.

Long Neptune – What is knownWe will remind, in March it became known that Ukraine has a new winged rocket “Long Neptune” with a range of 1000 km, which it applied against the Russian Federation. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, in particular, stated that the Armed Forces have a corresponding success. “Long Neptune” tested and successfully used in hostilities. “Long Neptune” is an elongated version of the Ukrainian anti -ship “Neptune”, the length of which is 5 m. The “old” rocket dropped the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation “Moscow” in April 2022.
