Zitat:Zelensky hands over first ‘Hell' cruise missile able to strike deep into Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has officially handed over the first batch of Peklo (Hell) domestically developed and built long-range cruise missiles to the country's armed forces.

The president announced the development from his official X (formerly Twitter) account on 6 December, saying that the missile that puts Moscow within range is now being geared up for full-scale production and operational use. “The ‘Peklo' (Hell) drone-missile – our Ukrainian weapon with proven combat effectiveness. Today, the first batch was delivered to our defence forces. The mission now is to scale up production and deployment,” he said. Zelensky did not disclose performance specifications for the turbojet-powered cruise missile, but Ukrainian media with links to the defence forces noted it can fly 700 km at a speed of 700 km/h.

Ukrainian Ambassador to the Philippines Yuliia Fediv said over the weekend that both countries are working toward signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on defense cooperation by October. A high-level Ukrainian delegation, including officials from the Ministry of Defense, is expected to visit Manila to meet with their Philippine counterparts.

“The first step is to sign an agreement on defense between Ukraine and the Philippine government to create the legal framework for the next steps,” Fediv said at a forum hosted by the Chamber of Commerce of the Philippine Islands. “If we sign the MoU this October, then we can move forward with co-production.”

According to Fediv, a draft of the agreement has already been submitted to the Philippine Department of National Defense and is awaiting feedback.
