Initial speculation was that Kyiv had used a British or French supplied Storm Shadow missile to carry out the deadly attack at Cape Tarkhankut in northwest Crimea. But it is now clear Ukraine deployed its own sophisticated new cruise missile. "The missile was a new one, absolutely modern," said Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine. He then praised its 'flawless performance' on the battlefield. However, Ukrainian TV added that there is 'no clarification of whether it is an absolutely new missile or a modified one'. One suspicion is that Ukraine has adapted the low-flying, subsonic Neptune anti-ship missile which famously sank the 12,490 ton Moskva flagship of Putin's Black Sea Fleet last year. The new missile appears designed to hit ground targets. The hit on the S-400 was highly significant since the advanced Russian air defence system and associated radar should detect and nullify missiles over some 200miles. The Cape Tarkhankut deployment gave Russia control over a swathe of strategic land and water in the western Black Sea. There were earlier claims that the Ukrainians were tweaking Neptune with not only GPS but other advances to enable it to strike land targets potentially at a distanc){kind=link}
