The anti-ship missile struck a maritime target 100 kilometers away from its launch point in the south of the Odesa region on Aug. 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locally developed by the Kyiv-based state design bureau Luch, the Neptun is a subsonic anti-ship cruise missile with a reported maximum range between 280 and 300 kilometers.
