According to him, the enemy does not have very many missiles of this type, and the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin repeatedly boasted, calling them hypersonic.
“They save them to defeat the most strategic goals for them – this time one of the objects in Zaporozhye and a critical infrastructure object in Kyiv turned out to be like that. Such was their strategic goal – to leave one district of Kyiv without electricity,” Ignat said.
He noted that the “Dagger” flies along a ballistic trajectory, and the MiG-31K fighter delivers it to the upper layers of the atmosphere, launches it, and the missile descends at great speed when approaching the target.
REFERENCE. Russia characterizes the Kinzhal as a hypersonic missile, however, in fact, it is “an Iskander missile attached to an aircraft.” It flies along a ballistic trajectory, the Armed Forces of Ukraine today do not have the means that are capable of shooting down this type of missiles.
