Is This Another One RU Hypersonic Faster Kinzhal 100% ? || October 2022.
What do we see here? Launching a rocket. Clear. But what kind of rocket? Some say it could be Kinzhal, others that it is not Kinzhal. What plane does Khinzhal launch? MIG-31 and TU-160. But this is not a rule. During this period, the Russian army can conduct experiments in real conditions. Maybe with new variants of Kinzhal.....Show more

Hypersonic is a term used to describe platforms that can travel at speeds in excess of Mach 5, or about 3,836 miles per hour, but the term has been adopted for advanced new weapons systems being developed all around the world. The Kinzhal does travel at hypersonic speeds.
The advantages of a hypersonic missile are many:
1. Speed. No time for the enemy to react (either leave or activate/track with air defenses).
2. Undetectable by radar. At mach 10, the temperatures developed (friction of air with the surface of the missile, almost 3000 Celsius) cause the air enveloping the missile to become plasma. Plasma is basically ionized gas which absorbs all electromagnetic radiation, thus rendering the object invisible to radar.
3. The kinetic energy at hypersonic speeds is huge. It is estimated that the kinetic energy of a Kinzhal is more than 4,000Kg of TNT, making it ideal to hit well fortified ammunition stores and command centers deep in the ground (compare this with its conventional warhead which has a weight of 500Kg). In other words, much higher penetration than conventional missiles.
4. The Kinzhal is air launched and the range stated is apparently the combined range of the missile and the carrier aircraft. Thus it is 2000Km when carried by the MiG-31K and 3000Km when carried by the Tu-22M3.
5. It is claimed to be able to maneuver during its flight to avoid air defenses (as if that is necessary).
