Hrim-2 (Template:Lang-ua), also known as Grіm-2, Grom (meaning Thunder), or Sapsan,[1] is a Ukrainian prospective mobile short-range ballistic missile system being developed by Pivdenne Design Office and A.M. Makarov Southern Machine-Building Plant, planned to combine the features of tactical missile systems and multiple rocket launchers. The missile range for the export version is 280 kilometers, limited by the Missile Technology Control Regime limiting the proliferation of missiles and missile technology. Technically, the missile range is up to 500 km.[2] Reportedly the missile system research and development has been covertly financed by Saudi Arabia.[3]
The first test launch of the new tactical missile was scheduled for the second half of 2019. Due to lack of funding from the central government the project was frozen in 2019 at the phase of testing. Financial funding was resumed in 2021 and the MOD of Ukraine hoped to be able to buy the first systems at the end of 2021.[citation needed]
