Range of 300 km: Netherlands' Large-Scale Military Aid of Cruise Missiles to Ukraine Targets Deep Inside Russian Border
The Netherlands will produce approximately 700 "Ruta Block 1" cruise missiles for Ukraine, with a maximum range of up to 300 kilometers.
The Ruta Block 1 is a ground-launched cruise missile developed by the Netherlands. With a range of 300 km, it can cover cities, logistics hubs, and frontline military facilities along the Russian border. The order for 700 missiles represents a large-scale military aid package; once delivered, it will significantly enhance Ukraine's long-range strike capabilities, enabling routine attacks on rear-area infrastructure, air defense positions, and ammunition depots.
NATO countries continue to relax restrictions on the production and delivery of long-range weapons. By locally manufacturing this missile type in the Netherlands, the aim is to ensure a sustained supply of long-range strike munitions for Ukrainian forces, reducing reliance on U.S.-made missiles.
