Russia has released five hypersonic zircon missiles in Kiev since the beginning of the year - the media

According to the Chief of the KMVA Sergiy Poko, it was incredibly difficult, but Kiev withstood these blows. The head of the administration emphasized that it is scary to even imagine the consequences if all these powerful means of destruction have achieved their goals. The Russians have recently attacked the capital of Ukraine hypersonic missiles "Zircon". According to the KMVA, since the beginning of the year, aggressors have released five such missiles in Kiev, Reuters reports.

According to the Kyiv Administration, which she stated in the official telegram channel on Monday, April 1, these attacks are included in those more than 180 Russian rocket launchers of the Ukrainian capital for the first three months of the year. In addition, Russian invaders tried to hit the capital with such rockets and UAVs: "It was incredibly difficult, but we have withstood these blows. Honor and gratitude to our air defense soldiers who close the sky over the capital.

It is scary to even imagine the consequence your goals! ” - said Sergey Popko, Chief of the KMVA. According to the Russian command, the Zircon Maritime Base rocket has a range of up to 1000 kilometers and speed, which, according to Russian military experts, is 9 times higher than the speed of sound. "This can mean a significant reduction in the air defense response and the ability to attack large, deep and protected goals," the agency notes.

At the same time, Russian leader Vladimir Putin called these winged missiles part of the "new generation of unsurpassed weapons" and added that they were directed exclusively at the military and energy sites of Ukraine, but did not specify which ones. At the same time, the wreckage of collapsed missiles fell in the residential areas of Kiev, schools, non -residential infrastructure and more were injured.

There was no comment from Moscow in response to the publication, although, as the publication emphasizes, Russia regularly announces rocket strikes in Ukraine, according to it, in military and energy facilities. Reuters has specified that in the last two weeks, Russia has increased far bombardment of energy and gas infrastructure throughout Ukraine, which has led to significant damage and power out of electricity in several major cities.

Experts of the Kyiv Research Institute of Forensic Expertise (KNISE) investigated the fragments of rockets that Russia attacked Kiev, and confirmed that a hypersonic missile 3m22 "Zircon" was used. Recall that the speaker of the Armed Forces Ilya Yevlash suggested that the use of hypersonic missiles "Zircon" for blows in Ukraine may indicate that Russia is likely to have a shortage of other types of missiles. In addition, the aggressor country can check the Ukrainian air defense system.

"Where, what is protected, what and how it is covered, to continue to use it when planning their subsequent air attacks," the Armed Forces spokesman summarized. We will remind that Russian troops on March 25 this year were struck in Kiev by ballistic missiles "Onyx" and "Zircon", launched from the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea. The attack led to the destruction of the exhibition, sports hall, the Congress Hall and the Center for the Academy of Arts.
