What Are Hypersonic Missiles
The hypersonic missiles in question are Russia’s Kinzhal hypersonic missiles that first made their appearance in 2018 during President Vladimir Putin’s state-of-the-nation address.
Press have reported the nature of the hypersonic missiles to be “unstoppable” as the missiles flies at five times the speed of sound (about 6,200 km/hour) and can overcome air-defence systems. This is because the form of the hypersonic missiles allows it to manouevre towards a target and away from defences.
Compared to other conventional warheads such as the ballistic or cruise missiles, the hypersonic missiles are able to eliminate their targets in a more rapid and precise manner.
Because of its deadly speed and precise aim, the hypersonic missiles have a higher penetration and destructive power that makes it efficient to destroy underground storage sites or bunkers.
The underground storage site or bunker are normally used to protect people and precious resources such as food and other essential supplies. In the army, they are also used to store explosive goods.
Use of Hypersonic Missiles in the Invasion of Ukraine
As of 19 March, the hypersonic missiles were sighted for the first time and were used to destroy an underground missile and ammunition storage site in Western Ukraine. The storage site was located close to the border of NATO member, Romania.
According to Reuters, the targeted site was home to about 200 young Ukrainian soldiers. Reuters reports that the final toll remains unknown as rescuers and soldiers were still pulling bodies as well as survivors out of the wreckage.
This marks the first time Russia’s Kinzhal hypersonic missiles were used in combat.
