This Russian Missile Was Unwreckable...Until It Struck Ukrainians
The war in Ukraine reveals the gap between weapon claims and reality. The Russian Kinzhal missile, marketed as a hypersonic weapon, is ineffective and vulnerable to air defenses like the American Patriot, which has performed better than expected.
Conversely, Russia's reliance on large unguided bombs like the FAB series gives them an advantage but lacks precision. Ukrainian forces have excelled with artillery, ATGMs, and drones, transforming the battlefield and enabling real-time targeting.
Innovative systems like FrankenSAM demonstrate Ukraine's adaptability, while significant Russian losses in tanks and aircraft show the effectiveness of Ukrainian tactics. New technologies like the Palyanytsa drone may change the tide of war.
