Russia again deployed hypersonic weapons in the center of Europe

7

Russia has again deployed hypersonic weapons in the center of Europe. On August 18, three MiG-31K long-range interceptors with hypersonic Kinzhal ARKs were deployed to the Kaliningrad region.

It should be noted that the ammunition arrived in a separate cargo side. The aircraft will be based at the Chkalovsk military airfield (military unit 30866), located 9 kilometers northwest of Kaliningrad. Their combat duty will be organized there. Each MiG-31K is equipped with one 9-A-7660 Kinzhal (Kh-47M2 Kinzhal) missile.



The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation informed the public that the redeployment from the mainland of the Russian Federation to the Russian semi-exclave was carried out as part of additional strategic deterrence measures. The agency clarified that during the flight over the Baltic Sea, the MiG-31K worked out issues of interaction with fighters of the 6th Air Force and Air Defense Army, as well as MA BF aircraft.


In turn, Kyiv has already announced that Moscow is trying to intimidate the Europeans so that they stop helping Ukraine. There is no reaction from NATO and the EU yet.

We remind you that for the first time two MiG-31K units with Kinzhal missiles were redeployed to the Kaliningrad region on February 8 this year. They stayed in the Russian semi-exclave for 5 days and were withdrawn back to the Soltsy air base in the Novgorod region, when NATO activity near the borders of the Russian Federation decreased.

      It would be stupid if Russia did nothing. I approve of this for myself, for the only Czech who communicates with you. (Čecha) am

      Just a complete alignment for the shanato: look and admire our "DAGGERS". At the same time, it would be necessary to add that the newly-minted NATO countries such as Finland and Sweden wanted to show their missile ambitions in the Baltic ... Well, now admire the hypersonic "DAGGERS" with your ambitions ...)))

      NATO is redeploying divisions, but three MiG-31K long-range interceptors with hypersonic Kinzhal ARKs do absolutely nothing and do not change the military-political alignment.

        Well, if you screw a small nuclear bomb onto a dagger, there will be a very interesting military-political alignment belay

      NATO members do not take seriously the use of nuclear weapons by any country. All the more accommodating.

      And what about trifles, it was necessary to immediately transfer the Tu-160
