This part of Odesa region has already become traditional for rocket firing, in particular, the Vilkha ("Alder") artillery rocket system and the Neptun ("Neptune") coastal anti-ship missile complex were tested there before.
As UNIAN reported earlier, successful tests of modernized Vilkha-M rockets took place in the south of Odesa region on August 30, 2019.
In August 2016, the Ukrainian military successfully tested the new Vilkha artillery rocket system based on the Smerch multiple launch rocket system (MLRS). The main developer of the new weapon system is Kyiv-based Luch design bureau.
The Vilkha development and manufacture project cost Ukraine almost UAH 1 billion, or US$41 million.
