R-360 Neptune

Ukraine's indigenous subsonic cruise missile, born for coastal defense, that sank the Black Sea Fleet flagship and now strikes deep into Russia as a land-attack weapon in a family of variants with a claimed reach of up to 1,000 km.

Overview

The R-360 Neptune is a Ukrainian-developed subsonic cruise missile originally conceived as a coastal anti-ship weapon and later adapted for deep land-attack missions. Fielded by the Ukrainian Navy, it gained global notoriety for sinking the Russian cruiser Moskva in April 2022 and has since been continuously upgraded into a family that includes a long-range land-attack variant with a declared range of 1,000 km. The missile is the centerpiece of the RK-360MC mobile coastal defense complex, launched from truck-mounted canisters, and has become Ukraine's primary sovereign strike asset for hitting Russian military, energy and industrial targets far behind the front lines.
