According to the secretary, a cruise missile based on ground can accurately affect land and sea targets. During the tests, the flight characteristics and performance of the rocket systems were checked.

The rocket is fully a Ukrainian development of the designers of the Luch Bureau in cooperation with other state and private enterprises of the Ukrainian Defense Industry Complex.

The main task of the National Security and Defense Council, which coordinates the national missile program, is the development of a complex of cruise missiles not only on land but also on sea and air bases.

Turchinov said that today's test for Ukraine is a very important event, because after the disarmament of the army in accordance with the Budapest memorandum, there were no cruise missiles left in the arsenal of the Armed Forces.

Recall, as previously reported in URA-Inform, the National Security and Defense Council at the meeting approved the "Basic indicators of the State Defense Order for 2018-2020 years".
