Terrible missile strikes await Russia as Ukraine develops domestic HIMARS and NASAMS
Ukraine is actively developing a domestic equivalent of U.S.-made HIMARS rocket artillery platform, The Washington Post reported, citing unnamed Ukrainian officials.
More than two years into the war, Ukraine desperately needs a wide range of military equipment, including advanced munitions such as long-range missile systems, fighter jets, and bombers, to continue defending against the Russian aggression.
“Air defense systems and high-precision missiles similar to the U.S.-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket System are also being developed,” the report adds.
The Washington Post notes that despite Ukraine's manufacturing capabilities and specific raw material resources, it has been quite challenging to establish arms production quickly. This is because, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the defense industry in Ukraine practically collapsed.
"Unfortunately, I can say that without the help of our Western partners, our friends, including from the United States, we will not be able to fully meet the needs of the armed forces of Ukraine," said Maxym Polyvianyi, Deputy CEO of Ukrainian Armor.
Ukraine's Minister for Strategic Industries, Oleksandr Kamyshin, also stated that Ukraine has deployed a locally produced missile with a flight range of over 640 kilometers. However, he did not provide details about these missiles.
According to officials, Ukraine is also developing air defense systems with precision missiles similar to the advanced American and Norwegian NASAMS systems.
NASAMS is a mobile anti-aircraft missile system capable of firing 72 missiles in 12 seconds. It is used to shoot down aircraft, helicopters, and cruise missiles within a radius of up to 40 kilometers.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously stated that Ukraine must become strong and efficient enough for Russia to know that there will be a response to every attack. Strengthening domestic arms production is necessary to achieve this.
Ukraine already produces its long-range weapons. For example, specialists have developed a new version of the Neptune missile. It has also recently been announced that serial production of drones, which are analogous to Iranian Shahed drones, has begun.
