Is Russia's ‘hypersonic’ Kinzhal full of American hardware?
[YouTube] Russia caught the world’s attention with the deployment and subsequent use of their "hypersonic" Kinzhal missile against targets in Ukraine. Now, evidence is mounting to suggest that Russia’s high-speed, headline-grabbing Kinzhal may actually be guided into its targets using Western—potentially even American—hardware. Leveraging independent analyses of Russian weapon systems recovered in Ukraine conducted by UK-based firms the Royal United Services Institute and Conflict Armament Research, we’ve attempted to assess the likelihood that one of Russia’s highest-profile weapons may actually carry Western components. Based on the evidence available, we cannot say with 100% certainty that the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missile does, but we’re surprised to report that it seems exceedingly likely. The trolls are going to love this one.
