Ukraine warned about Russian superweapon
(Baonghean.vn)- Chinese military experts highly appreciate Russia's Kinzhal hypersonic missile system and its successes in special operations zones, Sohu newspaper reported.
"Russia has developed a new generation of superweapons to overcome the US air defense system. Kinzhal has attracted the attention of the whole world at an extremely high speed," the article says. As the author of the document notes, in the special operations zone these missiles demonstrated unprecedented power and posed a serious threat to Ukraine. "Existing air defense systems simply cannot intercept Kinzhal. This is truly a world-class achievement of military art," the author concludes.
In May, the Russian military attacked the Patriot air defense missile system in Kiev with Kinzhal missiles. The US air defense system was unable to intercept them. As Russian Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov noted, only Russian air defense systems are capable of destroying missiles of this type.
In mid-August, Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov said that the state corporation had increased production volumes of all types of military products widely used in the special operations zone. This includes howitzers and rocket launchers, armored vehicles, transport helicopters and combat aircraft, heavy flamethrower systems, individual weapons, all types of ammunition, BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles, BTR-MDM armored personnel carriers, T-90M Proryv tanks, Iskander missile systems, Kinzhal hypersonic missile systems, Ka-52 and Mi-28 helicopters, Su-57 and Su-35 fighters, as well as Lancet drones./.
