Neptune missile
The Neptune is a Ukrainian subsonic cruise missile developed by the Luch design bureau in Kyiv as a ground- and ship-launched anti-ship weapon. The original coastal-launched variant was adopted by the Ukrainian Navy in 2020; a land-based version with an extended range has since been developed. The missile gained international recognition after the Ukrainian military used it to strike the Russian cruiser Moskva in 2022 and has since been employed in strikes on targets inside Russia.
