The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine since February 2022 has intensified in the last few days. Meanwhile, Ukraine has claimed that it has a weapon with which it can inflict heavy damage on Russia. Ukrainian officials have made it clear that this weapon will be used against Russia again soon. Its range is said to be up to 700 km.
Ukraine has claimed it has a new long-range missile capable of striking Russian hinterlands without the permission of allies. Defense Minister Rustam Umarov said on Monday that a combination of home-made weapons, missiles and drones would “respond” to Russian bombing.
Ukrainian officials said that the ‘Paliyanitsa’ weapon is due to continued Russian airstrikes since the start of the war in February 2022 and conditions imposed by Ukraine’s Western allies on the use of Russian long-range missiles. There was an urgent need to prepare. Russia on Monday hit Ukraine’s energy infrastructure with a series of missile and drone strikes.
Ukrainian President Zelensky said in a Telegram message after the attacks that as long as Russia uses all its weapons, there should be no ban on life-saving weapons.
Zelinsky on Saturday confirmed the existence of ‘Palanitsya’, named after a type of Ukrainian bread. He described it as a ‘new class’ weapon. The new weapon was used for the first time on Saturday, the 33rd anniversary of Ukraine’s independence from the former Soviet Union, targeting a Russian military installation, officials said, without giving further details.
The weapon was used for the first time on Saturday to mark the 33rd anniversary of Ukraine’s independence. Officials gave this information while talking to AP. Here on Monday, Defense Minister Rustom Umarov also promised that the weapon would be used again in response to an overnight attack on Ukraine. Ukraine’s Technical Minister Mikhail Fedorov also says that the next step will be to increase production.
According to the AP, a Ukrainian military video shows it has a range of up to 700 kilometers. The video shows several airports in Russia, including Savaslika Air Base, that fall within this range. It is also said to be able to reach at least 20 Russian airports.
