Artillery[]

Model Image Origin Type Variant Number Details
Sapsan[17] Flag of Ukraine Ukraine tactical ballistic missile 0 In development, with a range of 480 km and a maximum payload of about a 1.5 tons - although the warhead in reality will not exceed half a ton as agreed in the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. The development of this missile was stopped in 2013 due to the lack of funds under the Yanukovich presidency, but restarted due to the Donbass War. Still the financial support from the central government is inadequate thus this missile's introduction with the armed forces in 2018/19 is HIGHLY unlikely unless the funding is increased many fold.
Korshun-2[18] Flag of Ukraine Ukraine tactical ballistic missile 0 In development, with a range of between 50–350 km and a payload of half a ton. This weapon system is less of a ballistic missile and more of guided missile with an extremely long range. An American equivalent would have been BGM-109G Gryphon. This missile is in development since 2014 and will require time and money to enter service with the army.
Grom-2[19] Flag of Ukraine Ukraine tactical ballistic missile 0 In development, with a range of about 300 km and a payload of 480 kg. This missile is much further in its development phase than the Saspan, however without financial support from the central government, this missile's introduction with the armed forces in 2016/17 is unlikely. According to the temporary acting chairman of the State Space Agency of Ukraine Oleksandr Golub, the 2015 army budget will have the needed finances for this weapon system, however persistent financial problems in the Yuzhmash state corporation indicate that no such contract has yet been made nor has the money been allocated for this project.
