Ukraine not only gets military aid from its supporters, but produces its own weapons, too | DW News

Ongoing US military support for Ukraine looks anything but certain — even as Russia continues to attack its critical infrastructure with drones and cruise missiles. The Ukrainian military has been able to turn to Germany for additional air defense systems — one of them called the "IRIS-T".
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that his country has successfully deployed a long-range guided cruise missile. That would expand its ability to strike deep into Russia.
The so-called Long Neptune is a version of the anti-ship Neptune. Zelenskyy claims the Long Neptune can reach targets up to 1,000 kilometers away.
