Oekraïne test in eigen land ontwikkelde ballistische raket

By Phil Bainbridge

August 29, 2024 - Ukrainian President Zelensky says the country has successfully tested a domestically-developed ballistic missile – thought to be the HRIM-2 variant – potentially bringing targets deep within Russia into range.

Zelensky did not name the missile, but military analysts believe it may be the Hrim-2 which translates as Thunder-2 in English), also known as Grim-2, Grom-2 or Sapsan. Unlike western-supplied weapons like the U.S. ATACMS, which has forced Russia to deploy its most advanced S-500 missile defence, there would be no restrictions on the use of domestically-built ballistic missiles.
