Ukraine's homegrown cruise missile Trembita ready to challenge Russian defenses

The Trembita is a Ukrainian surface-to-surface cruise missile named after the long wooden alpine horn played by Ukrainian shepherds. The project was initiated by a group of volunteers who were dedicated to enhancing their country's defense capabilities.


Akym Kleymenov serves as the project's chief engineer, and Viktor Romaniuk, a former member of Ukraine's parliament, organized the effort. The research and development team consists of eight full-time members and has been involved in the construction of drones and a new type of mortar with a highly accurate targeting system, in addition to the missile.


The Trembita missile is known for its cost-effectiveness, with an estimated construction cost of around $3,000, making it a competitive alternative to modern counterparts. By investing approximately $7,000 more, the missile can be equipped with modern navigation systems, further enhancing its effectiveness. In comparison to Russia's Kinzhal and Kalibr hypersonic missiles, which have a significantly higher price tag of $1 million to $2 million each, the Trembita project offers a more economical solution without compromising its potential impact.


The missile comes with several capabilities that make it a valuable asset in Ukraine's defense arsenal. Weighing 100 kg and featuring an armored casing, it has the capacity to carry a 20 kg warhead, which may consist of a thermobaric charge or a combined high-explosive charge. With an operational range of 140 km and a top speed exceeding 400 km/h, it offers flexibility in engaging targets at varying distances. Additionally, the missile can reach flight altitudes ranging from 30 meters to 2000 meters, allowing it to be suitable for diverse combat scenarios.

The Trembita missile is powered by a jet pulse engine and carries 30 liters of fuel, utilizing diesel or petrol for easy access to fuel from local sources. Moreover, the absence of moving parts in the propulsion system simplifies manufacturing and maintenance processes, contributing to its cost-effectiveness. Its compact size allows for easy transportation, fitting into a car boot, and it can be launched using a pneumatic catapult or solid-fuel booster, providing deployment flexibility for Ukraine's defense forces.

To support the mass production of the Trembita, Viktor Romaniuk envisions strategic crowdfunding. The plan is to produce up to 1,000 limited-range cruise missiles each month, at an estimated cost of $350,000 to $600,000.

Developers of the Trembita have set up their own mini-production line, making use of faulty Ukrainian Grad missiles and captured Russian Grads as a source of valuable missile fuel accelerant.

The missile's strategy revolves around launching 20 to 30 missiles simultaneously to challenge and overcome Russian air defenses, thereby increasing the accuracy of Ukrainian attack rockets. Some of these missiles may not carry explosives, adding complexity to the defense environment and making it harder for adversaries to distinguish real threats. Targets will include ammunition dumps, command and control centers, among others.

It is believed that the deployment of the Trembita missile carries a psychological impact on Russian soldiers due to the deafening 100dB noise it produces, which could potentially contribute to the success of military operations. Further tests are scheduled to take place at a military training base, and volunteers from different regions in Ukraine have expressed interest in assisting with the production of Trembita missiles in multiple locations.

Details: It is stated that the missile is capable of hitting targets at a range of 140 kilometers.

According to the plans, a salvo launch of 20 such missiles will allow Ukrainians to overcome Russia's air defence and hit targets at a significant range. The volunteers want to launch the production of individual parts and components of the missile throughout Ukraine, using garage workshops.
Declared characteristics of the Trembita missile:

• Weight: 100 kg;
• Warhead weight: 20 kg;
• Effective range: over 140 km;
• Speed: over 400 km/h;
• Maximum flight altitude: 2000 m;
• Minimum flight altitude: 30 m;
• Engine: 30 l.

The rocket engine has no moving parts, is simple to manufacture, and runs on gasoline. It will be launched from a pneumatic catapult.
The warhead can contain a thermobaric charge or a combined 20-kg high-explosive charge.

Not a lot of news about the ship being hit.

The Kremlin redirected the issue of damage to the ship in Novorossiysk
The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, answering a question about the alleged damage to the ship in Novorossiysk, said that in the situation with the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on warships, one should be guided by the statements of the Ministry of Defense.

The Russian Defense Ministry said on Friday that Ukraine attempted to attack the naval base in Novorossiysk with two unmanned boats, both of which were destroyed by Russian ships in the roadstead.

“No, I couldn’t,” Peskov answered the question of whether the Kremlin could comment on the situation with repelling an attack by surface drones in the waters of Novorossiysk.

To the remark of journalists that, despite the statement of the Ministry of Defense, videos of the damaged ship being towed appeared on the network, Peskov replied that it was necessary to focus on the information of the Ministry of Defense.

"This concerns a special military operation, here questions should be addressed to the Defense Ministry and guided by the information provided by the Defense Ministry," he said.

On Friday morning, the Telegram channel Shot published information about explosions in the waters of Novorossiysk. According to eyewitnesses, this could be the destruction of enemy drones. The emergency services of RIA Novosti confirmed that there were appeals from residents of the city because of the explosions. Later, the governor of the Kuban, Veniamin Kondratiev, said that in the waters of Novorossiysk, the Russian military repelled the attack of two surface drones, there were no casualties and no damage.

The admiral explained how to strengthen the detection of UAF drones in Crimea
Coastal tracking systems can effectively detect UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Black Sea and Crimea. The former commander of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy (1998-2002), Admiral Vladimir Komoyedov, spoke about this in an interview with URA.RU.

“At one time, we had coastal systems on the Black Sea. They were also underwater. Cable systems, hydroacoustic, which were connected to the shore, which listened, could detect noise, which reacted, gave a signal that an object was coming, ”explained Vladimir Komoyedov.

The admiral emphasized that it is possible to detect the naval drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the sky. “There is a radio link on which these drones are controlled - turn left, right, increase speed, decrease it, direct. It is necessary to influence it in the same way that we use electronic warfare to influence drones. We have electronic warfare aircraft, REB aircraft, which must jam this whole thing at a great distance. We also have the A50 AWACS, which must see, detect, including air targets. Probably, with surface targets it is difficult for him, but nonetheless. Patrol ships should be. Radar, which should be transferred to a more sensitive mode. We must intercept this case, ”Komoedov said.

At the same time, the interlocutor of the agency added that it is more effective in the fight against marine drones to identify their importation. “The most important and valuable thing is to identify the stages of their manufacture, who prepares, where, who brings, where they are stored, based, where they are prepared for transportation, for exit, where they are and how they are managed. And we only destroy them at the final stage. It's not very effective," he said.

Earlier, the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to attack the naval base of Novorossiysk with two marine unmanned boats . The UAVs were destroyed. Also, the Russian army repelled an attack by aircraft-type drones in the Crimea . Ten drones were shot down.

Interesting statistics turns out 3 to 1 and not in favor of Russia ... something went wrong

Prices for household appliances and electronics increased in Russia
The cost of household appliances and electronics from the beginning of June to the beginning of August increased in Russia by an average of 10%. The reason for the rise in prices is the increase in the exchange rate of the dollar and the euro.

Earlier, URA.RU reported on a gradual increase in the cost of household appliances due to the depreciation of the ruble. The dollar exchange rate has been gradually growing over the last month . The head of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation Anton Siluanov said earlier that the weakening of the ruble is associated with the trade balance .

Joe might have to talk to the allies and lay on some "special" aid to Ukraine, F16s and missiles to take out Russian rail bridges a hundred miles inside their borders. Cut the Russian rail logistics inside their borders and they can't project power. Looks like it's time the war ended, and the Russians driven out of Ukraine. Ukraine needs to breakthrough before winter IMO and be in a position to isolate Crimea all winter while getting most of the mainland territory back. Once they gain the advantage, we can give them low level aid for a long time while Vlad swings in the wind. This is an example of enemy and domestic propaganda, Trump, maga and foxnews did this, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory while being the useful idiots and even a 5th column of a hostile foreign power. Who else has hundreds of nukes pointed at America? Who have you spent trillions over decades to defend yourself against?

Ask any expert in the CIA, national security community or US military and they will tell you it is the bargain of the century. Nobody from the military is complaining about the arms and ammo given, it is being put to excellent use for its intended purpose. Every Russian they kill is one less NATO has to deal with, and every tank and piece of military equipment destroyed is one less their neighbors need to worry about. The increase in US military equipment sales and the volumes of munitions produced will do much to offset the costs and much obsolete equipment is also given away too. America is not alone in this war, there are plenty of allies who are giving all they can and countries like Germany and Poland are vastly increasing their armed forces while NATO expanded to include two new strong allies, so not bad value for the money invested, not spent.
