Russia Intensifies Attack on Ukraine, Using Hypersonic Weapons in Western Region
Hypersonic cruise missiles are propelled by a high-speed jet engine rather than gravitational forces used by more traditional ballistic missiles.
Russia says that it is using hypersonic weapons in western Ukraine as troops continue invasion in war-torn city, reports AFP. Hypersonic weapons are extremely high-speed and low-flying missiles and rockets that can carry nuclear warheads, and are much harder for existing defence systems to track.
