Ukraine has said it has taken out tens of Kinzhal missiles, which Moscow had touted as unstoppable.
Russian forces have fired Moscow's vaunted Kinzhal hypersonic missile at Ukraine using an Su-34 fighter-bomber for the first time, according to Russian state media, in what could mark a tactical change in how the Kremlin uses its air force in the war.
An Su-34 bomber flies over the Kubinka airfield near Moscow on March 28, 2009. Moscow's hypersonic Kinzhal missile has been launched at Ukraine by an Su-34 aircraft for the first time, according to Russian state media.According to Russian state media reports, the missile was first used in combat in mid-March 2022.
Making the Su-34 Kinzhal-capable is a"logical step" for Russia's military, according to Sidharth Kaushal, a research fellow at the London-based Royal United Services Institute think tank. "As such, if the use of the Su-34 as a missile launcher frees up MiG-31s, we might see more of the latter in defensive roles against aircraft and cruise missiles, especially if the Ukrainian missile threat to Russian forces in Crimea becomes more acute," Kaushal argued.
