Footage Of The Protection Of The Kinzhal Hypersonic Missile Fallen In The Territory Of The Russian Federation.
Footage of the protection of the propulsion system taken in the territory of one of the regions of the Russian Federation proves that the Kinzhal hypersonic missile was used .
The Kh-47M2 Kinzhal is a Russian nuclear-capable hypersonic air-launched ballistic missile. It is claimed to have a range of 3,000 km and Mach 12 speed. It can carry either conventional or nuclear warheads and can be launched by Tu-22M3 bombers or MiG-31K interceptors.
ALTERNATIVE NAME...KH-47M2 Kinzhal (trans: “Dagger”), CLASS..Air-launched Ballistic Missile (ALBM), BASING...Modified MiG-31 fighter, LENGTH...8 meters, DIAMETER...1 meters, PAYLOAD....480 kilograms, WARHEAD...nuclear or conventional, RANGE...1500 up to 2000 kkilometers, STATUS....Operational.
Following the launch, the Kinzhal rapidly accelerates to Mach 4 (4900 km/h), and may reach speeds of up to Mach 10 (12.350 kilometers per hour). This speed, in combination with the missile’s erratic flight trajectory and high maneuverability, could complicate interception.10 It is worth noting that Russia’s designation of the Kinzhal as a “hypersonic” missile is somewhat misleading, as nearly all ballistic missiles reach hypersonic speeds (i.e. above Mach 5) at some point during their flight.
