On Sunday, August 7, the Russian military launched missile strikes against military facilities in the Vinnitsa region. The occupants used X-47M Kynzhal airborne hypersonic missiles for the strikes.

This is reported by the command of the Air Forces of the AFU in Facebook.

The command said that the main carrier of "Kynzhal" missiles is the MiG-31 fighter jet, also can be used Tu-22M3 and Tu-160 bombers.

"This is the newest type of missile that Russia has. After being adopted into service in 2018, only a few dozen of them have been produced. The warhead of the X-47M is 500 kg, the speed of the missile is 3500 - more than 12,000 km/h," the report said.

The command said that after launching from the aircraft, the missile rises to a high altitude in the upper atmosphere. And when approaching the target along a ballistic trajectory, it can reach a speed of about 12,000 km/h.

"The tactical and technical characteristics of this missile do not allow the existing air defense means of the AFU to effectively detect and destroy it. Since February 24, only a few combat uses of this type of missile have been recorded, which the enemy is trying to use on extremely important targets," the report says.

As a reminder, on the previous day, the Russian military launched a missile strike in the Vinnitsa Region, which resulted in casualties.
