Makers of Storm Shadow and Neptune team up for a sequel

Original version ·

Remember the Ukrainian missile that turned a certain Russian flagship into a submarine habitat? Well, its creators just teamed up with Europe's biggest missile giant to build something even meaner.

The Ukrainian design bureau Luch and European missile giant MBDA just signed a deal at a weapons expo in Paris to co-develop the Neptune-2 cruise missile.

Yes, the same Neptune that famously sank the cruiser Moskva is getting a massive upgrade. And MBDA is the heavyweight behind beastly weapons like the Storm Shadow.

Imagine combining Ukrainian combat-proven audacity with European high-tech precision. They are keeping the exact specs quiet, but the focus is on serious "deep strike capabilities."

Black Sea fleet remnants might want to look into purchasing some very deep-water insurance.
