  • Ukraine says it shot down six of Russia's "unstoppable" Kinzhal missiles over Kyiv early Tuesday.
  • In total, a barrage of 18 missiles were intercepted from land, sea and air, officials claimed.
  • The Kremlin has long made swaggering claims about the Kinzhal, which experts doubt.

Ukraine says it has shot down an unprecedented six Russian Kinzhal missiles over Kyiv early Tuesday, amid a fierce bombardment from land, sea and air.

Officials said on Tuesday that air defenses had repelled an intense array of missiles and drones overnight in a startling defense against the Kinzhal, a weapon that Putin has touted as unstoppable.

The Kinzhal is capable of carrying a nuclear payload, but in the conflict so far has delivered powerful conventional strikes on Ukrainian targets instead.

The claimed feat comes days after Ukraine said it took down a single Kinzhal for the first time, using the Patriot missile-defense system it was recently given by the US.

According to the commander-in-chief of Ukraine's army, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, six Russian MiG-31K jets launched the Kinzhal missiles overnight.

He said a further nine Kalibr cruise missiles were shot down after being launched from the Black Sea, as well as three land-based S-400, Iskander-M missiles, in a post that was echoed by Ukraine's Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk.


Every day the AFU seems to grow stronger and the Russian military shows more weakness.
 
That scruffy coke snorter is actually an amazing guy .
He got Ukey air defence to change everything ever previously known and achieved the absolutely impossible .

But a miracle number of times .

OP you are a Gullible Plonker .

The last few days have been awful for the US and Ukey Nazis .
But let's give them 1/20 for the cheek of the story .

There must be some Kinzhal parts laying around to verify this.
