The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was struck by "dagger" on objects in Kiev and Zaporozhye - air forces

According to Yuri Ignat, the Russian army in service has about 40 missiles X-47, so they are preserved and beat them only for strategically important goals for them. During the mass shelling of Ukraine, on January 26, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation hit Kiev and Zaporizhzhia Rockets X-47 "dagger". This was reported by a spokesman for the Air Force of Ukraine Yuri Ignat on the air "Radio NV".

Russian President Vladimir Putin calls "daggers" hypersonic missiles, so he boasted them more than once, Ignat said. Also, according to him, in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in service of such ammunition about 40 units. They are preserved for strikes on the most strategic goals for the Russian Federation. "They protect them to defeat the most strategic goals for them - this time one of the objects in Zaporozhye and the object of critical infrastructure in Kiev.

Such was the strategic goal - to leave one area of ​​Kiev without light," Ignat said. The difficulty in their interception is that they fly for a ballistic purpose. The Mig-31K fighter starts them in the air, and the "dagger" flies in the upper atmosphere. At the time of approaching the target, the rocket is gaining great speed. We will remind, the focus gathered all the details of the mass shelling of Ukraine on January 26. The Armed Forces were knocked down 47 rockets out of 55.
