Watch: Russia Claims Successful Launch of Hyper-sonic Kinzhal Missile System

FighterSweep Staff No Comments Military Aviation, News, Photos, Russian Air Force, Technology, Video

Is this the missile Russian President Putin says he can defeat anything in the US arsenal with?

The Kinzhal missile was launched from a MiG-31 aircraft that took off from an airfield in south-western Russia, the defence ministry said. “The launch went according to plan: the hypersonic missile hit its target,” the ministry said.

It released footage of two pilots preparing for a flight and then running towards a jet carrying a large missile.

Set to rousing, patriotic music, the video showed a missile detaching from the airborne plane and gliding across the sky, leaving a fiery trail. – The Guardian
