But by Sunday, attention shifted to another domestic development \u2013 \u201cLong Neptune\u201d. Meanwhile, DOT-Chain Defence marketplace expanded its drone catalogue with new models from Quantum Systems, DeViRo, Warbirds, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Details in Dorozvidka #22, along with news on codification, successful tests of HIMERA\u2019s mesh connection, and updates on international defence cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First public images of \u201cLong Neptune\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine\u2019s extended-range cruise missile, unofficially named\u00a0<em>\u201cLong Neptune\u201d<\/em>, was <a href=\"https:\/\/defence-ua.com\/weapon_and_tech\/vpershe_ofitsijno_pokazano_dovgij_neptun_scho_litaje_na_1000_km_i_vin_ne_lishe_dovgij_sche_j_tovstij-19988.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">shown<\/a> publicly for the first time on 24 August via the official\u00a0<em>Zbroya<\/em>\u00a0portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier reports confirmed that this new version of the R-360&nbsp;<em>Neptune<\/em>&nbsp;had successfully struck targets at distances of up to 1,000 km during spring 2025 trials. While the missile has been known since late 2023, no imagery had been released until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key specs of \u201cLong Neptune\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Range: up to 1,000 km<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mission profile: strikes against land-based targets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Length: over 6 m (1.5 m longer than the baseline R-360)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fuselage widened from 38 cm to 50 cm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Already in operational use since spring 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mesh comms from HIMERA at a distance of 45 km<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1st Separate Territorial Defence Brigade named after Ivan Bohun has successfully tested Ukrainian tactical radios HIMERA G1 PRO in mesh mode, achieving stable communication at a distance of 45 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mesh communication is one of the key trends in modern tactical comms, the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HimeraUkraine\/posts\/pfbid02Em55fhdokUyMWSdLJe7rGNQjN57zEFhrrEqkdDHXziCknf2tVbyCzMNaK2jViXJel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">notes<\/a>. Its principle is that each radio simultaneously receives and transmits a signal. This creates a self-healing network that does not depend on a single repeater. If one link drops out, the signal automatically finds another route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the test, Bohun Brigade fighters used only four HIMERA G1 PRO radios in mesh mode \u2014 and achieved stable comms at 45 km without additional equipment. According to the developers, this result shows that even a small mesh configuration can significantly extend the radio horizon and ensure reliable communication where mission-critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joint arms production with Western partners: updates on the Build in Ukraine programme<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On 24 August, the Defence Cooperation Forum. Future Warfare was held in Kyiv under the chairmanship of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, with the participation of international partners. The President invited Western countries to join the Build in Ukraine programme: to set up factories, service centres and production lines in Ukraine, as well as to create joint programmes with Ukrainian manufacturers \u2014 from co-design to licensed production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/syeokzfequjabqwzfrnh-1024x682.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/syeokzfequjabqwzfrnh-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/syeokzfequjabqwzfrnh-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/syeokzfequjabqwzfrnh-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/syeokzfequjabqwzfrnh.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo from Defence Cooperation Forum.
