Ukraine successfully carried out test of a ballistic missile produced in the country, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced, quoted by DPA, BTA writes.
Local media reported that the Ukrainian president made the announcement at a forum in Kiev, but did not provide further information.
The military in Ukraine hinted for some time about the development of such weapons, DPA recalls. Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said after yesterday's massive Russian drone and missile attack that Ukraine has developed its own long-range weapon.
Over the weekend, Zelensky presented a jet combat drone “Palyanytsia“, also made in Ukraine.
Today, the Ukrainian president said that Western-provided F-16 fighter jets were used by Ukraine in defense against Russian attacks.
He also called again on the West to lift restrictions on the use of provided weapons, such as long-range missiles, to allow Ukraine to strike targets deep inside Russian territory.
