Talk:R-360 Neptune

Starlink

In the Moskva article, it's said that Russia has claimed that Starlink was used to guide the missile. I came here to find out about Neptune's guidance system; it seemed unlikely to me that a cruise missile would be guided using any kind of satellite system, let alone a privately-operated one. Aren't cruise missiles supposed to be able to navigate autonomously, or at least under the control of the launch/targeting system?

Anyway, all this article says about the Neptune is who built the guidance system; it doesn't say *how* the thing is guided.

This article [1] says the thing has active radar terminal guidance, and that Ukraine was reported to be having difficulty with that system. It says it also has inertial navigation, which is what you'd expect in a cruise missile.

Retracted claims

The claims about the Neptune hitting, or being used against the Makarov have been retracted. An editor insists on reinstating them. Including claims that have been retracted is the epitome of using a unreliable source - the source itself has said it it didn't happen.

Thank you for the source, Hohum. I've removed disinformation about the Russian frigate Admiral Makarov.--Russian Rocky (talk) 17:15, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Transliterated vs. Translated

I think the name of the article should be the transliteration of the Ukrainian name i.e. 'R-360 Neptun', as that seems to be the norm for other articles. Luka's not a fish (talk) 13:54, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
