      Putin is already using hyper sonic missiles. Start developing a ballistic missile now is too little too late. UK defence budget is severely under funded. This news may well be a gesture politic.

      Make sure its range will cover all the major cities and airports.

      Don’t forget the ability to track relatively slow moving targets above the sea.

      This is just mentioning about project Nightfall, which has been public for a number of months now.

      Time to shut down Russia’s aggressions and start focusing on America’s aggressions!

      >Under the project, named Nightfall

      Man Britain really does come up with the best names.

      >ballistic missiles that could carry a 200 kg (440 lb) warhead over a range of more than 500 km (310 miles).

      That would put Moscow in range from Ukraine.

      Why can’t I post things about the us? I don’t understand why they are like this

      wasn’t that announced in August 2025?

      Ah, we’re finally doing something. lol

      This will take,what, 5 to 10 years until deployment? Hopefully there is still a Ukraine then.

      Interesting. Presumably they’re thinking ballistic missiles to better avoid the SAM coverage? Are any of the Russian systems able to shoot down ballistic threats?

      The 200kg warhead requirement is similar to the previous MoD BrakeStop project, which also had a similar range, but was for a transonic ‚one-way effector‘, i.e. a cruise missile.

      It will be interesting to see the offerings for the competition, and the propulsion that they choose, solid or liquid fuel etc.

      „We are having trouble getting funding for the missile program!“

      „No problem, just change the proposal title and summary to claim it’s for Ukraine“

      Shouldn’t it take years to develop a new missile? Do they really think Ukraine has that much time?

      If they can slap together a new missile in just a few months, why hadn’t they done it already? And what would make such a slapdash missile better than what is already available?
