The Telegraph: Ukraine Is About To Get Missile Able To Kill Putin

Restrictions on long-range strikes are effectively being lifted.

Ukraine is as close as possible to receiving a missile capable of hitting Moscow and posing a personal threat to dictator Vladimir Putin.

According to The Telegraph, Ukrainian forces are preparing to deploy a powerful Hrim-2 ballistic missile. The head of the Ukrainian delegation to NATO, Yegor Chernev, confirmed that the weapon is almost fully operational.

“Believe me, there will soon be concrete results that not only Ukraine but also the Russian Federation will see,” Chernev said.

Hrim-2 - what is known about the Ukrainian missile

Hrim-2 is a single-stage solid-fuel missile capable of carrying a 500 kg warhead up to 500 km. It significantly outperforms the 1970s Tochka missile, which was previously the best weapon of its type in Ukraine. The development of the Hrim-2 has been ongoing for more than a decade, but the project only gained priority after the conflict widened in 2022. Amid Russian attacks on industrial facilities in Dnipro, Ukrainian specialists completed the first prototypes of the Hrim-2, and in August, President Zelensky announced a successful test.

The Ukrainian army will be able to carry out deep strikes that do not require approval from allies such as the United States, Britain, and France, which have supplied precision-guided munitions but limited their use against targets inside Russia. As a result, Ukraine has typically responded to Russian shelling with far fewer munitions, primarily drones.

With the Hrim-2, the restrictions on long-range strikes are effectively lifted. The only obstacle will be the speed of production of new missiles.

With the Hrim-2 in use, Ukrainian forces are expected to be able to more actively attack targets inside Russia, although this is unlikely to have an immediate impact on the situation on the front, where the main problem for Ukraine remains the lack of trained soldiers.
