Russia’s Defense Ministry says it has successfully tested one of the “invincible” missiles that President Vladimir Putin said earlier this month could deliver a warhead at hypersonic speed and pierce US defenses.<\/span><\/div>\n
“A MiG-31 fighter crew of the Russian Aerospace Forces conducted a combat training launch of a hypersonic missile of the Kinzhal high-precision air missile system in the designated area,” the ministry said in statement Saturday.<\/span><\/div>\n
“The hypersonic missile confirmed its technical operational performance and timing data of the Kinzhal missile system,” the statement said.<\/span><\/div>\n
The Russian Defense Ministry has released what it described as footage of the Kinzhal launch. The video appears to show a military jet carrying a missile. Some parts of the missile are blurred.<\/span><\/div>\n
The weapon, designed to eliminate targets on the ground and at sea, hit its assigned target at a training ground, the ministry said, and described the launch as “normal.”<\/span><\/div>\n
Russian military personnel have been trained to carry out day and nighttime flights with the weapon in any weather conditions, the ministry said.<\/span><\/div>\n
The ministry said that, due to the high flight characteristics of the MiG-31 aircraft and advanced high-maneuverable hypersonic technology, “the Kinzhal has no analogues in the world” — a claim US officials have downplayed as “election rhetoric” ahead of Russia’s presidential vote on March 18.<\/span><\/div>\n
