Ukraine's air force claims that U.S. Patriot systems have intercepted every Russian Kinzhal missile since May.
The Kinzhal missile is one of the latest and most advanced Russian weapons. Its military says the air-launched ballistic missile has a range of up to 2,000km and flies at 10 times the speed of sound, making it hard to intercept.
A combination of hypersonic speed and a heavy warhead allows the Kinzhal to destroy heavily fortified targets, such as underground bunkers or mountain tunnels.
The Kinzhal, which means “dagger” in Russian, is one of six “next generation” weapons unveiled by President Vladimir Putin in 2018 when the Russian leader boasted it cannot be shot down by any of the world’s air defence systems.
The air-launched ballistic missile can reach speeds of up to Mach 10 or 12,350 kilometres per hour and is capable of carrying nuclear or conventional warheads.
In an interview with Ukrinform, Ukraine's state-run national news agency, Air Force Colonel Serhii Yaremenk said: "All the Kinzhals that were launched at the Ukrainian capital since it was announced that the Patriot air defense system was put on combat duty have been successfully intercepted."
"Since the beginning of May 2023, not a single ballistic missile has reached its target in our country's capital. More than 20 Kinzhals were launched at Kyiv and all of them were successfully intercepted," he added.
The MIM-104 Patriot is manufactured in the U.S. by defense contractor Raytheon, and is considered one of the most advanced air-defense systems in the world.
Ukraine is currently in possession of at least two of these systems, one donated by the U.S. in May and the other provided in partnership by Germany and the Netherlands. In late June, Romania also promised to send a Patriot system to Ukraine, though Bucharest's donation included the caveat that the U.S. would have to make up the difference.
"This donation is made on the condition that our country continues negotiations with allies, especially with an American strategic partner, with the aim of obtaining a similar or equivalent system ... At the same time, it is necessary to find a temporary solution to cover the operational vulnerability created in this way," the announcemtn on President Klaus Lohannis's website read.
The Patriot was first deployed by the US in the 1980s. The system costs about $4 millions per missile, and the launchers cost $10 millions each, according to analysts.
