The state defense order was redistributed: funds were found in Ukraine for the purchase of the Neptune complex
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine nevertheless made a decision to purchase the Neptune coastal missile system this year. According to the press service of the military department, funds for the purchase will be raised through the redistribution of funds allocated for weapons in 2020.
The Ukrainian military department did not plan funds for the purchase of the Neptune missile system in 2020, but decided to redistribute the money already allocated within the framework of the state defense order and purchase the complex. At the same time, it is not reported which weapons will have to be abandoned in favor of Neptune.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Andriy Taran said that funds will be redistributed within the framework of the state defense order for the purchase of the complex and further work under the Neptune anti-ship missile program.
- quotes the Ministry of Defense of the words of Taran.
Also, within the framework of this redistribution, funds were found to continue the Neptune anti-ship missile program. The next stage, according to Taran, will be the creation of a ship version of the Neptune complex, and not an aviation version, as previously reported.
