Sapsan (Ukrainian: «Оперативно-тактичний ракетний комплекс «Сапсан») is a mobile short-range ballistic missile system under development by Yuzhnoye Design Office and A.M. Makarov Southern Machine-Building Plant for Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Sapsan should combine the features of tactical missile system and multiple rocket launcher. Stated missile range is up to 280 kilometers.[1]

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 hopes to be able to buy the first systems at the end of 2021.
