Kyiv has unveiled the Hrim-2, a new ballistic missile developed by the Ukrainian industry that could potentially open a new chapter for the country's armed forces. The technical characteristics of this missile, along with the absence of political restrictions on its use, could significantly alter the operational balance on the front lines.
Kyiv's long-range attack capabilities seem to have reached a turning point. On June 6, a new domestically developed ballistic missile was revealed. This missile was reportedly field-tested in May when it successfully struck a command center of the Russian armed forces. The system in question is the Hrim-2 (an unofficial name initially used for export purposes), developed by the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau and produced by Yuzhmash in the city of Dnipro. It appears to be ready for mass production.
Designed as a counterpart to the Russian Iskander system, the Hrim-2 is equipped with a conventional 400-kilogram warhead and has a maximum range of 300 kilometers in its export configuration. The domestic version, however, can reach up to 500 kilometers, a limit that Ukrainian officials suggest could be exceeded in the future. Both the range and the explosive payload are significant strengths of this new weapon system. Additionally, its precision is noteworthy.
"People often ask why we didn't reuse the old Pivdenmash missiles," said Defense Express analyst Ivan Kyrychevskyi.
"The answer is: they weren't precise enough. To match something like the Russian Iskander, you need completely different class electronics." In the past, the Ukrainian defense industry faced issues with military electronics, but recent advancements suggest significant progress, as confirmed by the successful tests of the Hrim-2. Mounted on a mobile platform, the Hrim-2 can be rapidly deployed and hidden after an attack.

The operational deployment of this system could have a substantial impact on Kyiv's operational capabilities.
Compared to the American ATACMS, British Storm Shadow, and French Scalp missiles, which currently form the backbone of Ukraine's arsenal, the Hrim-2 offers several advantages. Unlike foreign systems often subject to political restrictions on use within Russian territory, the Hrim-2 faces no such limitations. Furthermore, its warhead is heavier than those of its foreign counterparts, providing greater destructive power. With its current range, the Ukrainian missile could target sites deep within Russian territory, up to 230-240 kilometers beyond the border, including infrastructure, logistics depots, command centers, and drone production facilities. Previously, Kyiv's phased introduction of long-range attack capabilities significantly affected Russian armed forces' operations, forcing them to adapt their logistics to keep sensitive targets out of Kyiv's range, impacting the efficiency of supply systems and, consequently, frontline units.
According to some analysts, the Hrim-2 is also difficult to intercept by Russian air defense systems. "The S-300 and S-400 systems have only a 30% chance of hitting a ballistic target [...] In some phases, it reaches an almost hypersonic speed. This makes interception extremely difficult for Russian air defenses," explained sector expert Kostiantyn Kryvolap. "If you launch two missiles simultaneously, they won't shoot them down." If Ukraine successfully produces these systems in sufficient numbers, leveraging easy access to Western components, the dynamics of the war could be profoundly influenced. However, it is still too early to make any predictions in this regard.

Just like every other missile that "entered mass production" and yet all we see are Liutiy drones year after year. Not to be a shill, but I will get excited when I see it actually DO something. It shouldn't have taken this long to deploy what is literally an Iskander, that they have known how to build for forever, but using western electronics. Probably going to be at least 6 months before this thing even shows up anywhere

No? It's accurate. It's hitting the intended targets, which are apartment blocks.

Not enough range. Don't think 500km is enough for most targets

there is zero chance they will be able to produce hundreds per year, any lower amount wouldn't affect the operational situation at all

>>63818780 (OP)
IDK about their ability to build this now. It was in low rate production in a established and publicized factory well before the war. The urgency and exigency wouldn't have registered with the company who were exporting to Saudis. They may have built out a few but I'm pretty sure their factory got fucked up.

>>63818945
My brown friend, two things can be true at the same time, it's not that Iskander is a particularly accurate weapon, it's just that older (soviet) designs were even worse.

>>63819901
I'm guessing they'd be trying to go the aero-ballistic route, where it flies depressed at mid-altitude for the majority of its flight, and it may or may not do a pop up and dive in terminal. if it's supersonic like atams, this makes it a lot easier than the hypersonic flight of iskander. its outward appearance is that of iskander.

not that there's anything wrong with a not-tochka, as a ballistic trajectory works for the majority of targets out there.

>>63819261
>Don't think 500km is enough
Probably. But it can spread out air defence for long range curise drones to pass more easily.

>>63820310
Based on how russian AA has issues shooting down cruise missiles and drones, actual ballistic missiles would be even a bigger issue and probably one of the tools to fuck over that AA specifically.

what is this bullshit with nerfing the export version? Makes me instantly doubt the 500km range claim

>>63820488
Problem is, they can't really hide a missile heading for the bridge. They can hide an underwater payload easily, but not a missile. You'd also have to time it right with decoys to both saturate air defenses and get civilians off the bridge.
Perhaps an 'all-of-the-above' attack could work though - missiles AND underwater payload AND drone decoys. Send in the drone decoys to get people off the bridge, then send in the missiles, and then detonate the underwater payload just as the missiles hit or get shot down. Another ton of TNT near the piles hit last time might be enough strain to destroy them completely.

>>63820594
Guarantees you and allies always out-range any third parties, whatever they do with your missiles.
>sell missile to lawful kingdom of Nort Irrusia
>theiry proxy south Chegepisstan gets pissy with your friend Nipeen

AAAnd you can still sell missiles to both parties.

>>63820596
>get civilians off the bridge.

>CuckGermany just said no AGAIN to Taurus deliveries
This new missile comes just at the right time

>>63820620
They aren't Russians, anon, they don't want to kill civilians if they don't have to.

>>63820488
waste of munitions.

for ukraine, hitting airfields and bases that launch the glide bomb birds would be the most effective targets for them. they need to get the pressure of the line.

>>63820594
Pretty sure there's some sort of treaty thing about selling ballistic missile launchers above a certain range. Could be wrong on that though.

>>63818945
having an accurate missile won't help if your targeting information is based on Soviet maps from 1984 and the missile strikes an apartment block that now stands on the spot where a bunker used to be 30 years ago

>>63820596
>get civilians off the bridge.
They've had a 3 year notice to fuck off. At this point you have to conclude everyone who is there has willingly accepted the risks.

And what if they put this missile on a sea drone?

>>63820594
This is a fairly typical thing that export versions of cruise and ballistic missiles are cucked in range, probably comes down to some old agreements or something. And Hrim-2 specifically was initially started to be developed like a decade ago with export potential in mind, since the state itself didn't have the funds for such projects.

>>63820596
>Problem is, they can't really hide a missile heading for the bridge
Yes, and? It's not like it's easy to shoot down a ballistic missile.

>>63818780 (OP)

AFAIK there was testing strike on russians with this already

>>63820596
Overwhelm AD, and add ballistic missile get added into the mix. That's how the RF do it, why not Ukraine?

>>63820699
Funny that.

All the same, the Hrim-2 would have been worked on for ages. Ukes knew they needed a ballistic missile with decent precision and range for well over two years.

>>63820594
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_Technology_Control_Regime

>>63821198
Oh look, a jewish golem.

>>63820594
Note: Those are pre-2022 numbers, back when people pretended to care about the INF treaty and Ukraine was planning Hrim-2 exports to Saudi Arabia.

It is possible they're limited to that range given the form-factor was fixed to those specifications, but it has been hinted at longer ranges being possible even so. Not like the UKR MoD is going to say that though, not without hitting something worthwhile and making the fact obvious first anyway.

>>63818780 (OP)
why is it Hrim if it is pronounced Grim

>>63821798
Ukies have two "G" letters in their languages, one softer and another harder. Transliterating that conundrum to a latin script without the use of diacritics is a mess, so they use H for one of those and G for another. Just read H as G for ukie words and you'll be safe.

>>63821812
i'm guessing that the actual reason is because they turn hamburger into gamburger
or fucking garry potter

>>63821798
It sure does ivan

>>63821826
Yep, it kinda happens in the other direction as well, and you can even see trace amounts of this in older russian language as well. For example russians would also do gamburger and garry potter, or even Gimler, but at the same time they'd keep Hillary as Hillary, while ukies would make her a Gillary.

>>63821852
Ivans would call it "Grom"

>>63821852
my family is originally from sumy
but i never lived in ukraine
also its grom in russian

>>63820596
They need subsurface delivery. The USV thing has gone on long enough even Russia can adapt and has. Now, a UUV would be the right move for these long range naval strikes

>>63818932
>but I will get excited when I see it actually DO something
It blew up a pidori command post back on the 6th of the month

>>63821877
So, it has been used one time on the sixth of some month? I want to believe, but based on how often they are used, there can't be more than maybe a dozen of these missiles total. We have been through this thing so many times before
>Ukraine tests missile in a single strike against Russian structure
>Ukraine announces aforementioned long-range missile/drone has entered "mass production"
>literally never hear about it again
If these things are really going to be mass produced soon, I expect Russians to find debris and photo it like they usually do. But it never happens, because the reality is that the only thing Ukraine has ever made in large numbers is Liutiy and Bohdana. And even Bohdanas which are produced like fucking hotcakes according to the defense ministry I see so rarely compared to M777's, which just doesn't add up.

We'll see. But this sounds like another nothingburger meant to inspire hype

Why was it "Kyiv" that got them so mad that they still chimp out about it over 3 years later? Why didn't Turkey's official ask to be called Turkiye make them so mad?

Russian chauvinism.

>>63824962
But that doesn't explain why some random Americans chimp out about it.

>>63824949
I'm not even a chud but both of them make me seethe. Imagine if we started trying to insist that the words for our countries in Mandarin were replaced with ones that we picked that we liked the pronunciations and connotations of better, and we also insisted on designing the pictographs for them. It's fucking insane. Turkey, in particular, can suck my nuts for trying to insist on a replacement that can't even be spelled with the standard English character set. What a fucking joke.

>>63824949
Its a rejection of russia at its core and denies that part of historical revisionism they have.
>>63824975
Because of subversion

>>63824975
Because the russian agitators (and even some of the home-grown retards whose personality is entirely based on being contrarian) told them to chimp out about it. That's it.
It's both a rejection of russia and a statement of independence, 2 things that russians and the room temperature IQ westerners who suck their dick non-stop just cannot stand.

>>63824949
honnestly i'm far more pro ukraine than pro russia (i'm more anti russia than anything, really) but i really don't understand all of this. Kyiv looks and sounds retarded. Kiev was better. The worst has to be chornobyl. Sounds utterly retarded. Why would you try to rename the biggest russian fuckup ever that will scar the earth for thousands of years ? litteraly, in 10,000 years, the USA, china, everything might be forgotten, but their fuckup ? Nope. Why would you rename it ? Shadow of Chornobyl ? Really nigger ?

>>63825022
What i do not get is that it is a colonial conflict. Russia wants back its ukrainian and baltic colonies, where they ethnically replace the native population, siphon resources into Moscow/Petersburg and generally make life shit.
Wouldn't people from former colonialized areas get that struggle, the struggle against a revanchist overlord?

>>63824949
It's too long of a story to try to cover it via 4chang shitposts, but basically:
- it's a non-russian spelling;
- it highlights that it's not a russian city;
- it falls in the face of old russian propaganda talking points and fake russian history, where they try to privatize the east slavic culture space for themselves and deny ukies existance;

>>63825066
People from formerly colonised countries dislike The West. Russia is seen as fighting The West.

I've long wondered why Western/democratic supporter sof Ukraine don't simply send them all the components for strategic missiles for the Ukrainians to bolt together with a big "made in Ukraine" sticker on, to avoid all the hand wringing about arms deliveries for attack into Russia (which seems to have mostly gone away in the meantime I suppose). Ukraine's backers have +20x Russia's capacity to build such weapons components and no restrictions self imposed or otherwise.

>>63826216

>>63824949
Tbh I hate kyiv as a word but I support Ukraine, I just really don't like newspeak or trying to change place names. It's still the gulf of mexico, still kiev, still turkey. Eventually I'll fade away the same way Peiking became Beijing or Bombay became Mumbai but that doesn't mean I have to give up.

I also really get annoyed at over pronunciation. When people shift from their speaking accent/tone to something almost stereotypical for the usually spanish place. It'd be like if you had a Japanese or Turkish or whatever news agency relating American news and then when they get to the word "Texas" in
>"The Governor of the American state of Texas was recently quoted as saying"
Suddenly switch into a caricature of a "Well hows about we go mosey on to the saloon and get ourselves somethin to wet our whistle, partner" Texas accent. Or when saying new york city suddenly sound like a brooklyn jerk. One can pronounce a foreign place right without going full on AYYY ARRIBA ARRIBA or equivalent.

A major problem with using Ukrosneeds to strike Russian aircraft is that the planes take off before they arrive. Could it be possible to mount a parachute, a smartphone using a Russian SIM card, and 2-4 fiber optic FPVs under the wings onto a strike drone, then use the parachute to land the drone in a field somewhere, and launch the FPVs an hour later? This seems like it would be an effective way to screw with the Russians, especially if you do this at night and mix strike and carrier drones.
