A powerful new #Ukraine ballistic missile that could strike as far away as Moscow:
Ukraine’s Hrim-2 missile is nearly ready for action, Yehor Chernev, the chairman of Ukraine’s delegation to NATO, said recently. “Believe me, there will soon be concrete results that not only Ukraine but also the Russian Federation will see,” Chernev said. The Hrim-2 is a single-stage, solid-fuel ballistic missile that can carry an 1,100-pound warhead as far as 310 miles, presumably under inertial guidance. It represents a major step up from Ukraine’s best current battlefield rocket – the 1970s-vintage Tochka.
Translating from the obsolete units to metric: that’s 500 kg warhead and 500 km distance. Because the numbers are so round, they are most likely what the #Ukraine engineers told Telegraph, whose editor must then have laboriously converted that to imperial units 😂
