Looks like a derivative of the Tu-141 which Ukraine had some from soviet times

The launch mode and launch gear pretty much, and the missile layout is old school; if it manages to fly and deliver a payload large enough, it's good.

Imagine that designing an affordable and easily manufactured yet efficient jet engine has been the most difficult challenge. Range has gone from 1000 km to 3000 km. 👀

Beyond Urals capability. Novosibirsk is within range. Lots of military factories to chose from. Urals are no longer a defense, as they were in Nazi times.

Germans never had the long range bombing capability, so then it was a solution to pack up all production and move it beyond the Urals. IMO, eveything should be used on wiping out refineries and transformer stations, easiest to damage beyond repair with a 500-1000 kg warhead.

3000km range? That means there isn't a single place in Russia that can't be hit either from Ukraine or from a cargo ship in the Sea of Okhotsk!
