According to Ukrainian sources, these are Swedish Saab RBS-15 anti-ship missiles.
Swedish mobile coastal defense systems equipped with RBS-15 anti-ship missiles have entered service with the Ukrainian army. There has been no official announcement regarding the transfer of these systems to Kyiv, but two years ago, the Swedes promised to supply Ukraine with a certain number of anti-ship missiles.
According to available information, the RBS-15 anti-ship missile has a warhead weighing approximately 200 kg and is GPS-guided. The missile also has an active radar seeker. The range of the RBS-15 missiles depends on the modification. The earlier RBS-15 Mk III has a range of 200 km, while the latest RBS-15 Mk IV Gungnir has a range of over 300 km. Furthermore, the latest modification of the missile has the ability to engage ground targets, effectively making it a cruise missile.
According to enemy public accounts, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already used Swedish missiles to strike the Russian Sivash oil platform in the northern Black Sea, but there is no information on the results. Our Ministry of Defense has neither confirmed nor denied the strikes.
