Alistair McDonald, a reporter from the U.S. Wall Street Journal, released a report after talking to Ukrainian officials, stating that Ukraine has the capability to design long-range missiles but lacks the funding needed for mass production. Ukraine previously boasted about its "Firebird" long-range missile, specifically developed to strike Russia, but there has been no discussion about producing this missile, let alone mass production. The same situation applies to the "Neptune" cruise missile, which evolved from an anti-ship version. It is said to exist, but only in limited numbers.
From the perspective of more than three years of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, putting hope in "miracle weapons" is of no use. Even if Ukraine had long-range missiles, it would not change the battlefield situation, but only increase the destructive power of Ukraine's attacks on key Russian infrastructure.
