Russia Strikes Ukraine With Its Newest Hypersonic Missiles For First Time by Puremaker8: 9:45am On Mar 19, 2022
Moscow: 

Russia used its newest Kinzhal hypersonic missiles for the first time in Ukraine on Friday to destroy a weapons storage site in the country's west, the defence ministry said.

Russia has never before admitted using the high-precision weapon in combat, and state news agency RIA Novosti said it was the first use of the Kinzhal hypersonic weapons during the conflict in pro-Western Ukraine.

"The Kinzhal aviation missile system with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles destroyed a large underground warehouse containing missiles and aviation ammunition in the village of Deliatyn in the Ivano-Frankivsk region", the Russian defence ministry said Saturday.

Why move into a city when you can stand from a distance and level it to the ground? Russians are been kind to Ukraine , and don't want to harm civilians, the civilians are the ones giving guns to ambush Russian soldiers, but if they get killed in the process western media will use it against Russia

How can you take control of a city if you cannot move in. The essence of war is to control not to destroy.

Destruction without control mean nothing.

Just like playing football without scoring goal. grin

After leveling Ukraine to the ground, ground forces have to move in. Ukraine has bunkers and bomb shelters for critical weapons and soldiers. There are POWs in Ukrainian military bases. Striking those bases mean killing of their men as well.

Please who said the reason for Russia's invasion is to take over Ukraine? Did you go through Russia's demands? The part of Ukraine Russia wanted to take from Ukraine was Crimea Peninsula and they took it without firing a shot since 2014

Take over the capital. Overthrow the government and install a government that is loyal to Russia.

The aim is not to destroy Ukraine.

In first 3 days of invasion, putin called on Ukrainian army to overthrow their government. The reason for invasion of ukraine is to change government and for putin puppet to be in power. Then Ukraine is now pro-west. If it is for only crimea, since Russia has gotten it, it should declare ceasefire and station their troops in the region not inside Ukraine.

Like I said, Russia made demands and will ceasefire when those demands are granted, it's not to change government, it's for Ukraine to agree not to join nato, Ukraine should accept the two breakaway Ukrainian regions fighting for Independence which Russia has already recognized, Ukraine should accept Crimea Peninsula as part of Russia cause even though Russia took it since 2014 the Ukraine and the world still see it as part of Ukraine , these are the most important demands by Russia, the current comedian Ukraine president can remain in power Russia doesn't care

Those regions belong to Ukraine. It just like saying Jos north belongs to hausa/ fulani because majority of residents are hausa/ fulani. Try to read about russification of Ukraine by Russia - Russia empire, later USSR and Russia. Those are illegal demands.
Issue of NATO, before the war, it has made clear that Ukraine cannot join nato. Germany vetoed that decision. War is not about nato. It is about sphere of influence.
Why did Russia invade Georgia in 2008, is it about NATO? It is about sphere of influence. Since that time Georgia has severed relationship with Russia and the country is now becoming westernised.

Ukraine doesn't belong to Russia. Read about how USSR was formed. Scotland does not belong to England. It is part of Great Britain and United Kingdom. UK consists of 4 nations. Just like ussr. Biafra or Eastern Nigeria agreed to be part of Nigera in 1960 with no succession clause.

The people of Crimea Peninsula which are majority Russian speakers are happy to join Russia that's why there was no resistance when Russia took it from Ukraine in 2014 and they celebrated even yesterday, the other two breakaway regions which Russia recognize as independent states where already fighting the Ukrainian government before Russia's invasion, Russia's invasion is a boost to them, I repeat Russia made demands and Ukraine will accept those demands at the end of it all, Russia feels threaten about Ukrainian ambition to join nato, Russia also asked for Ukrainian disarmament so that Ukraine won't be a threat to them in the future, Russia recognize those Ukrainian breakaway regions to make Ukraine smaller and weak so that it can't be used by Europe or America against Russia
Russia will get those demands all nato can do is watch and only sanction
