"Changes the Course of War": The expert called Russia the use of Russia's hypersonic missiles "dagger"

According to the expert, Ukraine needs a tool for protection against hypersonic missiles. However, Western F-16 fighters will not help this. Former US Air Force Colonel, Defense Expert Jeff Fisher said that the use of a hypersonic missile X-47M2 "dagger" is a step by escalation by Russia. Newsweek writes about it. According to him, this changes the course of war as Ukraine cannot knock down such rockets. Moreover, it is a challenge of the United States of America.

The publication writes that the escalation by the Russian Federation is on the background of how Ukraine actively asks the USA F-16 planes. Fisher believes that it is too early to talk about whether Moscow's use of "daggers" is motivated to allow the supply of Western fighters in Kiev. "Approval and sending to Ukraine 4th generation fighters such as F-16 should not be considered as the ability to neutralize the threat from X-47.

Rather, F-16 or other fighters will give Ukraine the opportunity to fight and provide an advantage in air above its sovereign territory, "Fisher said. However, according to the Colonel of the Air Force Maximilian Bremer, Russia's war against Ukraine showed that the so -called "domination in the air" is able to win not with the help of aircraft.

"Any attempt of Ukraine to win the advantage in the air will be an expensive mistake that it cannot afford, given the still significant quantitative advantage of Russia," he said. It should be reminded that on the night of March 9, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched dozens of rockets in the territory of Ukraine. The explosions were heard in Kyiv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytsky, Lviv, Ternopil, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odessa, Ternopil and Kirovograd regions.
