The Ministry of Defense of Russia claimed that during a strong attack on the capital of Ukraine, it targeted the expensive “Patriot” system sent from the United States with a “Kinghal” hypersonic missile.

And
has destroyed
According to the “Telegraph” newspaper, published in London, the Kremlin announced that during one of the most intense Russian rocket barrages against the capital of Ukraine, it succeeded in destroying the anti-missile defense system with the Kinzhal hypersonic missile.
However, Ukraine claimed to have shot down all six “uninterceptable” Kinzhal missiles fired by Russia, raising serious doubts about Russia’s long-range missile threats.
These Russian claims came after a video was released on social networks showing scenes of a large explosion.
At the end of the video, there appears to be an explosion on the ground that pro-Russian social media accounts have claimed is related to the destruction of a Patriot missile system recently donated to Ukraine by the United States.
In contrast, the Ukrainian military announced that it had shot down six Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, neutralizing a superweapon that Moscow had previously considered impossible to intercept and shoot down.
This is the first time that Ukraine has claimed to have neutralized several Russian hypersonic missiles in one attack and, if confirmed, would demonstrate the effectiveness of the new Western air defenses against these hypersonic missiles.
The Kinzhal ballistic missiles, which travel at 10 times the speed of sound, were among a barrage of 18 missiles that Russia launched into Ukraine during Monday night.
Earlier, Ukraine claimed to have shot down a Kinzhal missile over Kiev for the first time using one of the US Patriot air defense systems.
Previously, the Patriots’ ability to intercept Kinjal missiles was only theoretical.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who unveiled the Kinzhal in 2018 as one of six “next-generation” weapons, has repeatedly presented it as a proud Russian military achievement capable of countering NATO.
Kinjal, which means ‘dagger’, can carry conventional or nuclear warheads up to 2,000 km. Russia has used them in war for the first time in Ukraine last year. So far, Russia has only accepted the failure of these types of missiles to hit the target in a few cases.
