MOSCOW – Russia has mass-produced hypersonic missiles Kinzhal which were launched from the air and are now being produced in sufficient depths to meet military requirements. This was disclosed by an executive for the defense conglomerate Rostec.
The weapon was widely deemed impossible to intercept, although Kiev claims to have shot down multiple projectiles.
“Earlier, our production was (affected by the need) to fully complete research and development, but now we have switched to serial production in earnest,” the deputy CEO of the state-owned company, Vladimir Artyakov, told television.
“So whatever the Ministry of Defense asks of us, we do it with quality and deliver the required amount,” he added as quoted from Russia TodayTuesday (11/7/2023).
Artyakov also assured that the Kinzhal missile could not be stopped by modern air defense systems, contrary to Ukraine’s claims.
“The Kiev statement is part of a propaganda effort by our enemies,” he stressed.
The Kinzhal is a special platform-launched aeroballistic projectile, a variant of the MiG-31 fighter jet interceptor. Some military experts believe the missile may have come from a ballistic missile intended for the Iskander ground launcher.
