- Ukraine faces restrictions on using US-made, long-range missiles to strike targets inside Russia.
- To work around this, Kyiv has modified its Neptune anti-ship missile for land attack.
- Ukraine has used this weapon to strike energy facilities inside Russia in recent weeks.
The US has outfitted Ukraine with an arsenal of long-range missiles but continues to put restrictions on how it can use them, limiting its ability to strike Russia the way it wants. As a workaround in this dilemma, Kyiv has turned to a homemade weapon first used to sink ships.
