The Ruta missile is being reborn for the third time, with Dutch firm Destinus moving ahead with plans for a long-range variant capable of reaching targets up to 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) away.
Designated Block 3, the missile will be powered by Destinus’ in-development T220 turbojet engine, a next-generation propulsion system designed to support extended-range missions.
It is also expected to carry a 250-kilogram (551-pound) warhead, potentially enabling heavy strikes against targets deep behind enemy lines.
