Oh, you had to see the comments on the Russian channel

True story

I'm sure the definition of what properties a missile must have to be a hypersonic missile will change over time, but the most important features are: Does it work ? Can it defeat air deference systems ? Can it destroy the target ? I suspect that these missile attacks will have to be coordinated with other types of missiles and dummy missiles in order to overwhelm an air defense system. Given how high value these AD systems are, the cost of launching 30 missiles to destroy the system is still probably worth it. ( especially if the AD area remains unprotected for several days )

@@josephboustany4852 also you can see the "downed" Kinzhals pics from Ukrainians, it does NOT look like a Kinzhal

A normal ballistic missile also flies hypersonic and they have been around for a long time . Either the hypersonic term means something new or you can drop it all together

That's the correct answer. Most analysis tend to disregard the fact that the missile can slow down and then accelerate again. Why is this so hard to understand?

Thank you.

@@JayzsMr a normal ballistic missile does not maneuver. a normal ballistic missile accelerates, goes up. when it's speed reaches 0 (gravity and air resistance) it goes down in a predictable trajectory. neither Iskander nor Kinzhal are ballistic. he said it clearly, quasi-ballistic. which means it can fly a flatter trajectory with capability of mid course steering. that's why Russian S-300 been taking down Tochkas but no Ukie S-300 took down an Iskander.

Russia missile strikes yesterday. 25% where hypersonic. Ukraine targets 400 miles away in less than 3.5 minutes

If it's low and slow, it becomes easy to counter using existing systems -- like e.g. drones and regular cruise missiles are. Only hyper fast *while* manoeuvrable at the same can truly hope to beat modern AAA. By "existing", I naturally mean 30 years old systems like the Gepard or Patriot. Current day stuff is based on lasers. Not pointing lasers, missile destroying lasers.

In the video, I said that the missile accelerates to hypersonic speed, but it does not have an engine running the entire flight, which is why it quickly loses speed. It can hardly call a hypersonic missile that flies at such a speed only a small part of the route

​@@JayzsMr But the "Dagger" maneuvers at hypersonic speed. The meaning of a hypersonic missile is to overcome the enemy's air defense system at hypersonic speed. The dagger does it.

Greetings from Ukraine . you have no idea what's going on here. During the takeoff of the MIG-31. An air raid alarm is announced - on the streets of the siren, SMS comes to the phones. Regardless, the MIG-31 fired a rocket or not, or it has a training flight. From the moment of takeoff to the arrival of the rocket, it takes 1-2 hours, depending on which part of Ukraine he fired at (these planes are on distant airfields so that nothing accidentally arrives at them - and they are constantly monitored from Ukraine) When the MiG-31 takes off, a set of measures takes place from air forces and air defense forces, for example, the transfer of aircraft to alternate airfields, including "airfields on the roads," I will not tell everything to the detriment of my country. So you can be calm.

I don't think the Flankers will achieve the optimum range for the Kinzhal. I've heard reports that it's launched at 65000ft at M2.5 by the mig31. A flanker cannot achieve that speed and altitude. While it's also can be launched by Backfires, it's low speed of about mach 1.6 fully loaded means that Russia is currently only launching them using the mig31 with the Tu22 launching the kh22s.

😂 Kinzhal is worthless, it's an unguided ballistic missile. Its only use is hitting mountains and civilians

It was fired at a Patriot battery but no Patriot systems were lost and sattellite images show that it simply missed by several hundred meters. Kinzhal simply isn't an effective long range weapon in the Russian arsenal because of the lack of intelligence as well as its poor accuracy and the need to launch it at extreme ranges to preserve the precious few launch platforms Russia has, which negates the advantage of speed by giving an enemy plenty of warning time. The fact that it can only be launched by Mig-31s basically means that whenever a Mig-31 is spotted you can just safely assume it's about to launch one since the plane is essentially obsolete in all other roles. This is why Russia has mainly been relying on Shahed-131 drones in order to try to overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses, though the issue of intelligence still persists.

@@hedgehog3180 I got the impression that there is no more point in talking about the Ukrainian air defense system at all. Strikes by Russian long- and short-range drones, cruise and ballistic missiles of the Kinzhal type, MLRS and glide bombs have long become part of the life of Ukrainians from Kharkov to Lvov. Moreover, the citizens of Ukraine themselves are not to blame for this; - Soviet systems were sold out before the war or lost during the last 2 years of open conflict with Russia, and foreign supplies are completely insufficient and do not include truly modern types of weapons. Patriot, by the way, is not one of them. This system discredited itself in 2019 and then in 2022 during missile attacks on Saudi Aramco. Yet, recently it showed himself well when a transport plane carrying Ukrainian soldiers returning from captivity was shot down in the sky over Belgorod. Here, the Patriot worked flawlessly. ((

In fact, the Su-34 seems like a logical carrier for this missiles, but it is mute, not yet said. Apparently, now the missile is being adapted for the Tu-22M

@@SkyshipsEng thanks Sky. I’m sure Tu-22M can handle the job just fine also. 👍

@@SkyshipsEng Just my opinion but I think Mig-31 (and Su-25) deserve to be put back into production.

the most adequate comment. I agree with you.What difference does it make what it's called if it flies faster than all rockets

Surely an error in magnitude; he meant 1.6 Km per secoond.

The missile slows down as it descends to it's target, it only reaches mach 10 a few seconds after launch

@@constellation-sj8xn who gives a fuck if it slows down a bit if it hits speeds of Mach 10 or more and can maneuver so cant be intercepted? You westerners are the biggest bullshiters.

They are the exact same missile. The only difference is Kinzhal can be mounted to a MIG

The Patriot defending Kyiv is one of the most modern versions of the system. So we can’t say that this is the 1970s tech. The details of the interception are unknown. Both sides of the conflict make unrealistic statements

It's not impossible to intercept it, it's just that the radar has to be pointing in the same direction at the correct time to give the system the best possible chance at intercepting it. Millenium7 has a great videos explaining the problem with intercepting hypersonic missiles.

@@flyerkiller5073 they are known and they didn't intercept any. 2 launchers were destroyed and 1 system was damaged. Now the US isn't allowing Ukraine to use patriots since this is the first time in history that not one but two patriot launchers got destroyed as a result of missile strike and 1 system was damaged so they're investigating and all patriots are shut down until the investigation goes on.

@@KSmithwick1989 I was asking for hypersonic missiles, not ICBM. Yes, ICBM seem not to be a big problem.

@@how2preventnextplandemic76 What I'm going at, is hypersonic objects such as Kinzhal is slow by comparison. When you consider a destroyer picket can hit objects in orbit. It's basically overkill for most threats coming from high altitude.

@@KSmithwick1989 We will see what is the truth soon - I guess. They want war.

Sinking a carrier would require first finding it and that is difficult when Russia lacks any real reconnisance and intelligence assets. The most up to date information Russia would have is by spy satellite but they only have enough spy satellites to get images of an area every two days on average and carriers can obviously move very far in two days and are some of the fastest ships out there. This is further complicated by the fact that the US has several options for shooting down LEO satellites, so in all likelyhood in a war scenario the US would just shoot down any satellite before it passed over a carrier group. Then there's also the issue of launching the missile, the downside of it being air launched is that the platform can easily be shot down and these Mig-31s would effectively be blind sitting ducks since they have no radar, of course they'd have escorts but there are no Russian aircraft that stand a chance in an engagement with F-35s.

Such a theory exists. But, I think they would not do such a scheme. It is very difficult to implement and reduces the parameters of the warhead. In addition, there is evidence that the missile falls on the target entirely

@@SkyshipsEng I agree with you . The only good thing about that theory is that the schematic predates the war . The evidence is strong or look like a M117 with recent made up schematics fo fit them ? Honest question , i'm just not in the business to be fooled by anyone :)

@@frankgaleon5124 - Yeah, no one gives the missile characteristics when it hits the target!

They can be intercepted by Patriot..

No they can't. Physics is not magical. Hypersonic missiles have to resist enormous pressures, friction and heat that would melt steel. So a laser would be meaningless for them, the atmospheric friction is hotter than what a laser could make and the material on the missile outer surface just shrugs it off. Lasers need time to focus their beam enough to heat the target. Which this type of missiles deny as you have a few seconds to react. Worse, lasers need a complex and precise targeting system, both in software and mechanization. They have to be millimetric to aim the beam right in same spot. Which is extremely difficult when the target just appears out of nowhere and moves so fast. Lasers are are useless in cloudy or foggy days. The water vapor absorbs and scatters the beam energy. Lasers do work for mortars artillery, rockets and slower missiles because they are made of mild or pour steel, aluminum, and plastics. They are small and have thin not heat resistant surfaces. So powerful enough laser can detonate in flight ammunition (which is subsonic) in microseconds or burn a steady flying cruise missile by having enough time to sim at it and keep the last beam in the same spot for several seconds. You can't do this with Mach 5 or higher projectiles. And lasers are very limited in sustainable fire. They needs absurd amounts of energy so most power lases need s giant bank of quick dense capacitors that have to be previously charged or use chemical charges to create it. So they are limited to a few shots before you have to reload the charges or charge the capacitors. The more hard and fastest the target, the more power the laser needs, the least firing time you have. Smaller lases to burn thin slower targets can be sustained by very powerful turbine electric generators or nuclear reactors, hence why you will see them in big ships in the near future or for land defense sound cities. But they won't be powerful enough to stop rail guns tungsten projectiles nor ablative heat resistant hypersonic missiles materials. The only way for s laser to do that, is to be a nuclear detonation laser gun. Cool 1980s concepts in which a small nuclear bomb powers a laser cannon in which the energy of the blast is directed in one direction, concentration gamma, UV, X-ray and infrared radiation into a beam. That can instantly destroy anything that isn't several meters thick, but is a one shot gun. Otherwise you are left with kinetic interceptors. The only realistic way to stop hypersonic missilesz you need a very fast detection track and fire solution, automation, flawless software and an hypersonic rocket engine capable of taking the missile st mach 5 in 3 seconds. But you only get one chance to do it, if you miss, the target instantly hits whatever it aimed. And they complicate things because not only you have a very short window engagement, they also can maneuver. So if you launch and they slightly move in a minor way, they already ruined your interception solution. There is no mid course correction, it happens so fast that you are literally shooting a bullet with another bullet, you fire at were it will be and you have to physically hit it with a kinetic solid payload. If they move the least, at such speeds the target deviates dozens or hundreds of meters away in milliseconds and your interceptor just flies past away.

In the West, old stuff is actively destroyed or sold off to third world countries, just to get rid off it and buy new toys, a proven strategy of the MIC in Washington.

Mach 5 isn't that that much kinetic energy. I wouldn't want to be on the building it hits but it isn't going to be like a meteor strike. The warhead is still going to have a lot more energy than the kinetic energy transferred.

@@justforever96 not true .you are talking out of your ass.

Kinetic energy is 1/2*v^2*m for a missile that weighs about 4000kg at 1715 m/s that results in a kinetic energy 5,8 gJ or roughly 1,4 tons of TNT equivilent, which is likely a lot less than what's contained in the 500 kg warhead. Of course this is making the wrong assumption that this missile impacts at mach 5, which it would only be capable of in the ballistic flight mode when performing no maneuvers. In reality it'll probably impact at most at super sonic speeds.
