Zur ukrainischen ballistischen Kurzstrecken-Rakete SRBM Sapsan, auch als Hrim-2 bekannt; sie soll knapp 500 Kilometer Reichweite haben und einen 480 Kilogramm-Gefechtskopf tragen können. Ein wenig Irritationen gibt es über den Stand des Baus - erste Exemplare wurden 2018 gezeigt, aber erst im Sommer 2025 wurde von einem Serienbau berichtet. Einen Ersteinsatz soll es bereits im Mai 2025 gegeben haben, allerdings haben die Russen berichtet, solche Raketen bereits 2023 abgeschossen zu haben (?).

Zitat:If Zelensky’s Claim Of Using Homegrown Ballistic Missile For First Time Is True, It’s A Big Dealhttps://www.twz.com/land/if-zelenskys-cl...a-big-deal
Ukraine has long pined for a missile of its own of this kind to provide a potent means of striking targets deep inside Russia without restrictions. [...]
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that his country has begun using homegrown Sapsan (which means peregrine falcon) ballistic missiles in combat against Russia. While the claim may be disinformation, such a weapon would give Ukraine a highly valuable new standoff strike option, unlike any other in its inventory. It would also not be subject to any foreign restrictions on its use, as it continues to be the case with many longer-ranged weapons supplied by the United States and other Western partners. [...]
With that in mind, we should also consider the possibility that the Sapsan has not actually been used in combat. So far, there doesn’t seem to be any confirmed evidence of wreckage from impact sites in Russia, although the Russian Ministry of Defense has previously claimed that it successfully shot down examples of Ukrainian ballistic missiles over Crimea.
