Russia's Dubious Kinzahl Hypersonic Missile Strike

Has it really been used in Ukraine? Or is this Kremllin misdirection?

Russian claims of using their newest hypersonic missile to strike an arms depot and later a Ukrainian training camp has raised some doubts among western observers.

It just doesn’t add up, say some analysts.

On Saturday, CNN cited U.S. officials confirming what Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed:

That Moscow launched Kh-47M2 Kinzhal “hypersonic missiles” at a military munitions warehouse in western Ukraine near Poland — the first known use of this kind of weapon in combat.

But, this story is increasingly creating doubts.
