We didn’t like the Ukraine monetized YouTube spammer, and we don’t want Russian spam.

The Kh-47M2 Kinzhal (Russian: Х-47М2 Кинжал, lit. ‘Dagger’; NATO reporting name: AS-24 Killjoy) is a Russian hypersonic air-launched ballistic missile.[4][5] It has an estimated range of 460–480 km (290–300 mi)[6] and a reported top speed of Mach 10.[

Mebe because they move so fast your eyes cannot track them....

Mach 10 is pretty fast.
NATO cannot give The Ukraine anything to counter that speed...

Does not compute

MACH 10 = 7,000+ mph yet this device only has a range of 300 miles? If fired up for only 10 seconds its range would be well over 700 miles.

NATO has not given The Ukraine anything to shoot one down.
Your answer does not compute

Ballistic missiles fly in an absolutely predictable path and are easy to intercept.

“Russian KINZHAL Hypersonic Missiles Rained Down On NATO Officers’ Heads In STAROKOSTIANTYNIV”

Neo-con lies. All NATO generals had been already killed in 50 other ultra hypersonic missile strikes.

The war has been OVER for months. Biden needs to end the perpetual killing and recognize new boundaries.

If you search for corroborating stories in the news, they’re all from last year. Typical.

Your're lying again...also typical.

That's the boost phase. and you are using the ever unrelible Wiki as a reference - anyone can edit it to say what ever they want on any subject.

Its still a ballistic missile with a booster. Not an actual hypersonic missile. here you can clearly see the Iskanker with the attached booster.


A real boost-glide hypersonic missile would look something like this:

Ukraine and the Kinzhal: Don’t believe the hypersonic hype
On May 4, 2023, Ukraine used a U.S.-supplied Patriot battery to down a Russian Kinzhal missile, which Russian President Vladimir Putin had announced in 2018 was a “hypersonic” weapon that could overcome all existing air defense systems. Russia’s state news agency tried to maintain this claim by arguing that the shootdown was a fake report. Yet just 12 days afterward, Ukraine shot down six Kinzhals that Russia fired in an assault on Kyiv. Both shootdowns have been verified by U.S. government sources. Is this story, in which a Cold War-era defense system defeated one of Russia’s most advanced conventional systems, a sign that the hypersonic hype bubble has finally burst?

How about https://www.google.com/search?q=kinzhal+Starokostiantyniv then?

Dec 13, 2023, Reuters Russian missiles strike central Ukraine targets, Ukraine air force says>
Dec 13, 2023, Reuters Explosions rattle Kyiv and Khmelnytskyi Oblast as Russia launches Kinzhal missiles
Dec 13, 2023, Reuters Ukraine Says Russia Fired Kinzhal Missiles During Putin Speech ">

So where are the 2024 stories? There aren't any. This is a common Russian disinfo tactic for social media:

1. Take an old story, say, one where Kinzhals were shot down.
2. Rewrite to fit current events, Ukraine getting F-16s.
3. And throw in salacious and fake details, NATO officers getting killed in dramatic fashion.
4. seed it on Russian social media, have friendly western media pick it up and spam it.

When how Russia lies becomes clear, what Russia fears becomes clearer too. Russia does not want Ukraine to get F-16s. The success rate of the Kinzhal is good enough for propaganda like this, not enough to get results worth the hype Russia created about it.

I knew some Jews that fought in those wars. I guess they were “suckers”, no?

Do you speak French or read Cyrillic?

Hey, you need to eat too. Don't be so hard on yourself. Trolls are people too.
