#Ukraine is adapting domestically-produced Neptune anti-ship missiles to bolster its long-range strike capabilities in its three-month-old counteroffensive, experts have suggested, after #Kiev publicized its "completely modern" weapon in action in #Crimea.

Modified #Neptune missiles, which #Kiev developed just before the outbreak of full-scale war in the country, "are part of a broader recent Ukrainian effort to increase its long-range strike capacity," according to Ian Williams, deputy director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
