Ukraine's new Trembita missile aims to shift war dynamics

Ukrainians are accelerating the development of modern weaponry to gain an advantage on the front lines. According to "The Economist," Trembita is a missile capable of reaching Moscow. The production process takes place in secret locations.

Volodymyr Horbulin, a former national security advisor to Ukraine, emphasizes that the development of the missile program is a priority despite difficulties and changing circumstances. Serhiy Biryukov, who leads the team of engineers, notes that even if the missile fails to hit the target, its mere flight over Russian positions can have a significant psychological and tactical effect.

As reported by "The Economist," Trembita is a modern interpretation of the German V-1 bomb from World War II. Thanks to the use of simple technology, its engine costs only $200. The missile reaches a speed of 250 mph and has a range of 125 miles, but work is underway on a version capable of reaching all the way to Moscow. Serial production is set to begin after field tests are completed.

Ukraine arms itself with new equipment

Ukraine, which previously relied on American ATACMS and British-French Storm Shadow missiles for its missile capabilities, is now intensely developing its own long-range missiles. New achievements include Neptun and Hrim-2 missiles, which are already ready for combat use. Experts point out that the development of tech startups in Ukraine could drive innovation in this field.

Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov is actively working to reduce administrative barriers to accelerate the development of modern military technologies. In his opinion, the year 2025 could be a breakthrough moment when Ukraine presents a fully functional cruise missile.

Will Trembita help Ukraine?

As reported by the British newspaper "The Economist," Kyiv is also hoping for cooperation with Western partners, which could significantly accelerate the development and implementation of advanced weaponry.

The dynamic situation on the front makes time a critical factor. Ukraine fears a limitation of support from the USA, which could affect the supply of Western missiles and technology. Nevertheless, projects like Trembita have the potential to change the balance of power on the front line.

In addition to Trembita, Ukraine has begun using new precision missiles, which successfully eliminate key targets, such as the Russian S-400 system. One such attack, captured on video, demonstrated the effectiveness of modern guidance systems, although technical details remain classified. Mass production of economical missiles like Trembita gives Ukraine the opportunity to conduct numerous attacks.
