Not a good. it has nothing to do with putins threats to use nuclear, its because this entire country is today a free fire zone for anybody carrying a man pad, anybody carrying sting or missile. any of those missiles can bring down helicopters for sure, but cant bring down a velocity weapon. this is a target-rich environment for all those weapons that we have shipped and god bless the british for shipping as many as they have. its also very important because if you have allied jets flying around....

These types of missiles. the kinzhal is an air launched ballistic missile. it can travel at speeds up to ten times the speed of sound and has a range of about 2,000 kilometres. its designed to provide precision strike capability against both targets are land and at sea. it entered service in late 2017 and this is its combat debut. the speed of the kinzhal puts it beyond the reach of any ukrainian air defence system. and the launch platforms, in this case, the mig3i—ik, can launch from ranges b...
