That's not a cruise missile.

 

[Tomahawk missile fan]

Thank you teach my misstake.
Hypersonic missile.
I'm fixed.

 

[overscan (PaulMM)]

Its most likely an Iskander, which are much more plentiful than Khinzal.

Its also a ballistic missile, hypersonic is typically not used to describe ballistic missiles, which are all hypersonic by their nature.

It is also most emphatically NOT an unbuilt design so doesn't belong in Secret Missile, Bomb and Gun Projects section.

 

[Tomahawk missile fan]

Thank you!!

 

[flateric]

Neither it has 'Kh-47M2' designation

Successful interception of Russian "hypersonic" Kh-47 "Kynzhal" missile by the Armed Forces of Ukraine around 02:40 on May 4 in the sky over Kyiv is claimed. As claimed, presumably by Patriot air defense system

Smells like BS. The picture of the "missile" looks like it's made of concrete (complete with vegetation) and taken so close you can't actually tell what you're looking at. The other is a steel pipe. Undamaged.

Ukraine's Armed Forces successfully intercepted a Russian X-47 Kinzhal hypersonic missile for the first time around 02:40 a.m. on May 4 in the sky over #Kyiv. https://defence-ua.com/weapon_and_t...ibuhu_unochi_4_travnja_nad_kijevom-11498.html

Might have been basically a ATACM Launched by a plane but still counts.

Honest of the two main hypersonic types?

Glide vehicles be the easiest to shot down, they basically have a turning circle the Size of Bloody California while tge slower SAM has one the size of Rhode Island. Throw in that the more they turn the more energy they lose making it easier and easier to hit?

Oh and due to how they fly and Radar works a Patriot and SPY types have over a Minute to calculate the engagement envelopes to box it in? Which is fucking foreven with how automated those two are...

Eyeah...

Ping me when one of the truly dangerous power ones gets used...

 

[Orionblamblam]

Smells like BS. The picture of the "missile" looks like it's made of concrete (complete with vegetation)

While photo quality is 8-Bit Elon, to me it looks like hardened steel or something hard-but-brittle like tungsten alloy. The vegetation is to be expected given it landed in vegetation.

 

[sferrin]

And the scratches track with ground impact as well. Maybe part of an interior hardened casing? (As it doesn't match the OML of the missile.) If so, and Patriot punched that hole in the casing, that's pretty impressive.

 

[MihoshiK]

Might be real, the Ukranian high command does not sound happy about something:

[Forest Green]

So it's saying Defense Express is giving information to the enemy?

 

[Forest Green]

Got to say, I thought Kinzhal was beyond the maximum intercept speed of the patriot.

 

[MihoshiK]

So it's saying Defense Express is giving information to the enemy?

Yeah, likely giving away clues to the position of a missile battery.

 

[Dilandu]

Got to say, I thought Kinzhal was beyond the maximum intercept speed of the patriot.

Seems that Ukrainean military dismissed the claim, stating that no ballistic launches were detected.

 

[Forest Green]

So are they denying it because it didn't happen or because they didn't want the fact that it had to be released?

 

[NMaude]

Neither it has 'Kh-47M2' designation

It's NATO designation is the AS-24 Killjoy and the missile it was derived from is the SS-26 Stone.

Look at the pictures look at the wall thickness where the hole is. I doubt that’s a Kinzel.

 

[sferrin]

Depends which Patriot. PAC-3 ain't your momma's PAC-2.

 

[paralay]

Obviously, this is not a radio-transparent fairing. It can be a "penetrating warhead". But why is it empty?

 

[seruriermarshal]

The Commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, Mykola Oleschuk confirmed that on the night of May 4, Ukrainian Forces shot down a Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic missile over Kyiv region with the help of the Patriot air defense system.

Seems more like that there were different sources with conflicting position, and they finally agree that "even if it didn't happened, it would be a darn good propaganda". I clarify, that I did not know, did it happened, or not.

So a Killjoy got killed, good!

 

[Dilandu]

for you

With all respect, but proofs are limited and confirmation was rather confusing (considering the initial denial). Let's not haste here.

 

[Forest Green]

TBH the one before crashed by itself, successful AS-24 strikes seem to be less common than MiG-31 crashes. There's only been one that I'm aware of.

Does anyone have a record of how many have been used?

Not counting this one?

I know of 3 others, with only actually hitting the target.

The one that hit the target.

And 2 that hit a farmhouse, that 40 years back was a Soviet milltary Parking lot.
