The MS400 (Ukrainian: MC-400) is a turbofan engine developed by the Ukrainian aircraft engine manufacturer Motor Sich.[1][2] The engine is used for subsonic unmanned air vehicles, and is based on the earlier R-95-300 engine designed for use in the Kh-35/Kh-55 missiles[3]. It was also proposed for the Turkish Gezgin missile.[2]

Use
The Luch Design Bureau in Kyiv designed a Ukrainian subsonic cruise missile with all-weather capabilities, the R-360 Neptune, with a range of up to 300 kilometres.[5]
The MS400 is also studied for the development of Vietnam's VCM-01 cruise missile family.[6]
