That system looks a lot like the KH-35, booster and launcher in particular. But the missile itself looks quite different. Did Ukraine possess some KH-35s from old soviet stocks or did they simply engineer a version of their own by observation? As I recall the Switchblades were quite late, or even the last Ashm developed by the USSR. Anyway looks like a advanced and flexible option. The Russians seem to have doubled down on that approach of mobile area-denial weaponry, Ukraine should also imho.

Edit: Looks like it's a Ukrainian derivative, which I could have known by using Google (silly me)

Ukraine would obviously built on what was left by the USSR. Ukrainians are de facto under arms embargo. Only Turkey supplies Ukraine with what could be called advanced technologies.

Electronics and many other main systems are new developments from Luch.
The airframe, actually, is derived from the Kh35, but the reason is simply that the kh35 one was produced in Ukraine.
An example: the guidance radar
Kh35

Neptune

Thanks for the info mick! Can we assume anything about the quality of Ukraine's version visavis the Russian ones, For Example the seeker radar-dish looks quite different. I would presume that Ukraine's approach (or more specifically Luch company's approach) the manufacturing of microelectonics differs from the one Russia employs. No expert here, but the differences are quite eye catching.

cheers

Wedding at the Central Military Hospital. The groom was badly wounded on April 10th, 2020. He was literally put together by the surgical team led by the General Igor Homenko commander of the Ukrainian Military Medicinal Corps. He also led the ceremony. The soldier wasn't expected to survive at the time of surgery, but now is expected to make a full recovery. The bride is a refugee from the occupied Donbas and is now living with a grooms family in Nikolayiv.

The best and, unfortunately, mostly unknown documentary about the war. Heck if it wasn't for Russian propaganda, I wouldn't have known about it myself. 1.5 hours documentary about Ukrainian volunteer combat medics in the Fall of 2014. Non stop combat footage. Closed Captioning in English could be enabled.
