UPDATE 2-U.S. cannot confirm Russian claim on hypersonic missiles -U.S. defense official

WASHINGTON, March 21 (Reuters) - The United States cannot independently confirm or refute a Russian claim over the weekend that it fired hypersonic missiles at a Ukrainian target, but the use of such a weapon makes little sense from a military perspective and could be meant to send a message, a senior U.S. defense official said on Monday.

 

Russia said on Saturday it had used hypersonic Kinzhal (Dagger) missiles to destroy a large weapons depot in Ukraine's western Ivano-Frankivsk region.

"It's a bit of a head-scratcher, to be honest with you, because it's not exactly clear why -- if it's true - why would you need a hypersonic missile fired from not that far away to hit a building," the U.S. official told reporters on condition of anonymity.

The official speculated Russia might be trying to send a message to the West and to Ukraine to build up leverage in negotiations. Or perhaps it was turning to higher-end inventory because of what the United States assesses are constraints on Russia's supplies of precision-guided munitions.

Russia's Interfax news agency said it was the first time Russia had deployed the Kinzhal system since it sent its troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24.

Moscow prides itself on its advanced weaponry, and President Vladimir Putin said in December that Russia was the global leader in hypersonic missiles, whose speed, maneuverability and altitude make them difficult to track and intercept.

But Russia's assault on Ukraine, now in its fourth week, has stalled along most fronts. Moscow has failed to seize a single major Ukrainian city much less capture the capital Kyiv or swiftly topple the government of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Thousands of Russian and Ukrainian troops have died, and Russia's artillery-heavy army has suffered large losses in tanks and armor. Five Russian generals have already been killed, a loss of senior commanders in such a short period almost unheard of in modern warfare.

The U.S. official said Russia was already experiencing failures with its supplies of precision-guided munitions.

"They're failing to launch or they're failing to hit the targets or they're failing to explode on contact," the official said.

Everything in the air over Ukraine is tracked and logged. There’s an AWAC flying over Poland 24/7. The US military knows.

This is a wake up call for NATO. As it should be. Putin showed his true colors. This just goes to show that NATO has been a relevant force all along. But then again, Eastern Europe already knew this. 

 Nato is irrelevant.  If America and the money we piss away on it bailed out like we should it would be gone in  less than 5 yrs

Aren't these things nothing more than a ballistic missile from a mobile launcher fitted on to a plane?

Russians and Chinese spent a good chunk of their budget on hypersonic tech. There's no adequate defense against an incoming hypersonic missile. Can't get a radar lock on them because of a plasma bubble they create.

   Plasma bubble makes them untrackable....except to our AWAC's hundreds of miles away.

Tracking an object on radar and having an accurate target lock via radar are two different objectives. Of course that requires critical thinking skills to make that determination.

And yet russian tanks are a big failure.  Wow, how do you keep up the bullshit?

That’s pretty much what the Russians have done. They’ve taken a stage from an existing rocket and added updated guidance. It flies at Mach 10-12. It’s launched from a mig31. Unlike ballistic missiles it flies in the low atmosphere and gives little time to defend against.

Funny how people think they know what we can and can't do.  Of course it would be smart for our military to announce it to potential enemies.    I mean its not like our military leaders don't make claims in order to gain larger defense budgets.

It makes it fun to watch some people, who consider themselves experts at everything, make fools of themselves.
