The Russia Ukraine war has raged on for more than 25 days and to no avail. Death and destruction have ravaged the Ukrainian soil, but the world has lauded the strong defense put up by the Ukrainians, and keeping Russians on the edge.
In this scenario, Russia has resorted to more destructive weaponry. On Friday, the Russia’s Defense Ministry said that it had deployed “Kinzhal” (meaning “Dagger” in Russian) hypersonic aeroballistic missiles.
The Russian statement said that the attack was directed towards a large underground warehouse of Ukrainian missiles and aviation ammunition in Delyatin, in the Ivano-Frankivsk region of western Ukraine.
