Ukraine cannot rely solely on the help of alliesAccording to David Axe, the new Trembita cruise missile could become the greatest symbol of Ukraines desire for firepower autonomy.
Awaiting the day when it runs out of American ammunition, Ukraine is preparing to create Trembita and other longrange, deepattack munitions.
There are many of them, the expert writes.
He points out that this rocket is about two meters long and weighs 90 kilograms.
It is known that it is launched from a ramp.What is also important to understand is that it has a simple pulse jet engine, a tubular fuselage, and a square wing.
One of the main advantages of the Trembita is its low cost only 10,000 per unit.
The main goal is MoscowAs David Axe notes, the Trembita is capable of carrying 18 kilograms of explosives up to 144 km.
This is the main caveat, because it is not yet capable of reaching the Russian capital.Despite this, the developers have already focused on creating a more powerful version that will be able to cover 650 kilometers and be guaranteed to reach Moscow.
This version, which should be ready in about a year, will undoubtedly cost more than 10,000, but it would still potentially be the cheapest deepstrike munition in the world.
By comparison, the ATACMS missile, which flies a maximum of 300 km, costs more than 1 million.
We cannot ignore the fact that Ukraine has the ability to field thousands of Trembits even without external budgetary assistance.According to the expert, the Trembit barrage could be a real shock to the Russian militaryindustrial complex, but it will not be very effective against underground command bunkers, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces are currently striking with British Storm Shadow missiles.
