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

Your're lying again...also typical.

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.
