Is this headline really trying to imply that Ukraine developed an entire missle in the last 2 months? If that were the case, they'd never have needed foreign aid in the first place.
They have been working on lots of things since the war started. Given the restrictions on using western missiles I'm sure these were on the important list since the start of the war (and it wouldn't surprise me if they were in development as a 15 year project before). Small drones are fast and easy to make so they went all in on them early, but other things also got development. 2 years to deliver a missile sounds about right to me - they are much more complex than a small drone.
True. Downvoters clearly aren't engineers. I hope Ukraine will get all the support they require though.
Where did you get ‘2 months’ from?
The election.
I was pointing out the sensationalist headline. The contents of the article are irrelevant. Obviously they've been developing this for longer than 2 months.
Fair point, Trump has only started existing two months ago.
Yes, and the USA is the only country providing aid to Ukraine 🙄
@Vent designing the missile is one thing. Getting a production facility up and running and protecting it from Russian bombardments while ensuring constant supply is a whole different thing.
Edit: and it's been under development since 2023. It doesn't look like it's been developed overnight somewhere in the last two months or so.
@Sunshine
The og version isn't much better.
Ukraine’s Moscow-malleting doodlebug missile is about to become very important
That said 'completes development' instead of 'develops' would have been an, unlikely in this inexplicable era of minimum syllable headlines, improvement.
