A Russian missile evaded the radars of the German IRIS-T surface-to-air missile system. The American F-16 fighter jet, scrambled to intercept, also failed to shoot it down.
As a result of the strike, a large object on the front line was hit. It is unknown exactly which missile was used, but it may have been the hypersonic Kinzhal, capable of penetrating missile defense systems.
The Kinzhal hypersonic complex is a Russian aviation missile complex with a combat hypersonic aeroballistic missile.
The specific combat and technical characteristics of the Kinzhal hypersonic complex are understandably classified, but information about Russia's latest hypersonic weapons has appeared in the media.
Features of the Kinzhal:
- Maximum flight range — 2000–3000 km
- Maximum speed when flying to the target — 10-12 Mach
