Kyiv (Ukraine): Russia’s Kinzhal missile has emerged as one of the most formidable weapons in the Ukraine war. Launched from MiG-31 fighter jets, the missile travels at hypersonic speeds and makes it extremely difficult to track.

Its range of 460 to 480 kilometres and air-to-ground capability have allowed it to strike weapon depots and airbases in Ukraine with precision, while also exerting psychological pressure on Ukrainian forces.

Although some missiles have been intercepted by Patriot defense systems, the majority have successfully hit their targets, intensifying the war’s lethality.
