"This is a chance, we would assess, for Ukraine to show President Putin he cannot simply win by default by waiting out the war behind defensive trench lines. However, they added: "I'd say that more important arguably than cleaving through Russian lines to the Russian border will be the cognitive effect on those in the Kremlin. Turning to a potential Ukrainian counteroffensive, Kyiv's forces are "approaching a state of readiness" and have the "potential to be able to have some success", the official said. "That has not been the case," they added. They said the Kinzhal does "potentially reach hypersonic speeds" given its "ballistic trajectory" and Moscow thought that shooting it down would have been "basically impossible". These weapons have been viewed by the Kremlin as "absolute game-changers", the official continued. "Potentially up to six" Kinzhals were launched by Russia and "several" were shot down by the Ukrainians, the official said, although they said they could "not comment on exactly how this was done".
Speaking to Sky News, a Western official has revealed more details around the reports and their significance. There has much discussion around Russia's hypersonic Kinzhal missiles over the last 36 hours.Īlso known as the Killjoy, Ukraine claimed to have shot six of them down in a Russian attack in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
