The Czech Republic has unveiled its new Narwhal cruise missile, which is set to be supplied to Ukraine in the coming months. The missile is capable of striking targets at a range of up to 680 kilometers and can reach a maximum speed of 750 kilometers per hour. It is designed to deliver a 120-kilogram warhead over that distance. In comparison, a Shahed-type drone carries a warhead weighing between 50 and 90 kilograms, depending on the variant.

This development comes amid ongoing military support for Ukraine as it continues to face challenges in the region. The introduction of the Narwhal missile adds to the arsenal available to Ukrainian forces.
