Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky revealed on Tuesday that the country has carried out a test of a new missile called Ruta. Hailing the successful testing, he argued it will help bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities, comparing the progress of domestic military production to a leap from “fantasy” to “reality”.

The president also said that another Ukrainian-made Palyanytsia missile has already entered serial production, while the Peklo drone missile has successfully passed its first combat trials, and the first batch of these drones was already delivered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

He also mentioned the long-range Neptune missile that  is nearing “operational readiness”, promising to become a “nightmare for the occupiers.”
