Hrіm-2, Grim, Grom or OTRK Sapsan (Ukrainian: ОТРК "Сапсан", lit. 'peregrine falcon'),[1] also known as Operational-Tactical Missile System Hrim (Ukrainian: Оперативно-тактичний ракетний комплекс «Грім», romanized: Operatyvno-taktychnyi raketnyi kompleks "Hrim", lit. 'thunder'), is a Ukrainian short-range ballistic missile system being developed by Pivdenne Design Office and A.M. Makarov Southern Machine-Building Plant, designed to combine the features of tactical missile systems and multiple rocket launchers. The missile range for the export version was planned to be limited to 280 kilometers, as to conform to the Missile Technology Control Regime that limits 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]

Explosions in Novofedorivka

As a huge explosion at the airfield of Novofedorivka in Russian-occupied Crimea occurred in August 2022, the exact cause was unclear. Several media outlets discussed the possible use of the Hrim-2, as the distance between the Ukrainian troops and the airfield was more than 200 km.[4]
