As is known, about a third of the Soviet military-industrial complex was inherited by Ukraine. Much has been irretrievably lost., but something nevertheless remained. The specialized Polish publication Defense24 told its readers about the latest achievements of the Ukrainian defense industry, among whom were:
– ballistic and cruise missiles with a range of flight 280-450 km (OTRK "Thunder", SCR "Neptune");- caliber multiple launch rocket system 300 mm and range 70-120 km (MLRS "Alder");- 122-mm multiple launch rocket system with a range of up to 40 km (MLRS “Willow”). Moreover, the publication emphasizes, that all this was created by the Ukrainians themselves, based on proprietary component base. Most interesting are the comments of simple Poles., read this note.
You are laughing, but unnoticed by all, Ukraine is turning into a regional power. May be, not everything is debugged, but already at a decent level and often better, than polish ancient weapon systems
- wrote one of the users. It seems, they (Ukrainians) not much taken from the former USSR, on the contrary - they have a lot of their own developments
- echoed another. As for rocket artillery, then we are behind Ukraine for years 100
One of the readers suddenly admitted. These missiles are not news.. Like everyone forgot, they have long been building their own missile systems
- the commentator recalled. American weapons dominate the Polish army. We finance the development of their defense industry and technology in exchange for promises to build a large Trump base., which will never be. Such a price of "sovereignty"
- the user of the Polish site admitted somehow completely unpatriotic. And what about us? What have we come for 30 years of freedom? Our "Langoustines" (WR-40 Langusta - Polish MLRS) will finally shoot at 40 km, and then thanks to the French. Why we do not cooperate with Ukraine in order to develop our own missile systems, not worse, than in the US?
- the reader is indignant., that the Polish audience is deeply mistaken, calling the above missile systems native Ukrainian. OTRK "Thunder" is created on the basis of the Soviet missile system "Tochka-U", anti-ship missile "Neptune" developed on the basis of the Soviet X-35, the basis for the creation of the Alder multiple launch rocket system was the Soviet Smerch, and MLRS "Verba" - this is nothing, as a modernized Soviet Grad.
