Russian "daggers": a peculiarity of scarce missiles of the Kremlin that firing Ukraine

In the Air Force, they initially abandoned official comments, and a spokesman for the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Yuri Ignat claims that this is not true. The focus has collected everything that is known about the rocket of this type. The Russians, along with the remains of Soviet missiles, have modern missile systems with missiles X-47 m "Dagger", which they themselves call "hypersonic". Their first trials began in 2017, and a year later, operating military tests began.

These Russian missiles are able to affect both stationary objects and surface objects, including: aircraft carriers, cruisers, frigates and more. The main purpose of the development was that the X-47 m could bypass both air defense systems and about, wrote Roszma in 2018 on the abilities of weapons. In fact, it is a ballistic rocket that is mounted on the plane. Aviation accelerates to high speed, after which the rocket rises to a certain height, accelerates and then goes to the target.

The start -up range reaches about 3,000 kilometers and this is not given to the flight range of the aircraft, which wears this weapon. Due to its high speed, the rocket allegedly does not pass electromagnetic radiation and waves of radar stations. That is, it becomes practically imperceptible to air defense systems, according to the Russians. In addition, dagger missiles can carry nuclear warheads.

In addition, separately the military leadership of the Russian Federation is working on the possibility that the Su-57 aircraft also becomes the carrier of the "dagger" rocket. Flight range: 2000 km using a MiG-31K fighter and more than 3000 km with TU-22m3. Height: during a peak velocity point can rise by 20 kilometers. Weight of the combat part: 500 kg.

The first report that the dagger missile complex was made by the territory of Ukraine on March 19, 2022 and this was confirmed by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Rossma reported. The invaders struck the settlement of Delyatyn in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. On the day of victory last year, May 9, the Russians hit civilian objects in the Odessa region with the help of these missiles.

As a result, two people were injured and five more tourist infrastructure buildings were destroyed. In early August 2022, "daggers" were recorded in Vinnytsia region. The last attack took place this year. On March 9, during a massive rocket attack, Russian invaders used six scarce missiles at once.

On March 20, the Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces Lieutenant General Sergey Naev stated that the Russians use the remains of their modern missiles, and during a massive attack on March 9, they used 11% of their total number on March 9. "There are 49 such rockets left now," he said. According to media reports, the interception of ammunition allegedly occurred at 2:40 am on May 4.

In the Kyiv City Military Administration, it was noted that in addition to the Dronov-Kamikadze PPO forces could destroy the ballistic type rocket. On Friday, May 5, the Air Force stated that they would refrain from official comments on this, at least now. Later, the Speaker of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Yuriy Ignat in a comment to the publication "Substitute" stated that no ballistic missiles were recorded on the night of May 4 and the "dagger" report was not true.
