The Russian Defense Ministry denies the possibility of the discovery by the Americans of the Russian hypersonic missile "Dagger".

After the first combat use of the Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missile by the Russian military, the American side stated that it was tracking the missile's flight path in real time, but the Russian defense department rejects such arguments, noting that the missile is invisible to existing air defense / missile defense systems .

“The destruction of a large fuel depot in the village of Konstantinovka by a hypersonic missile of the Dagger complex was due to its invisibility and invulnerability to any means of air defense and anti-missile defense of the enemy. The combat use of the Kinzhal aviation missile system confirmed its effectiveness in destroying highly protected special enemy targets. Strikes by this aviation missile system on military infrastructure facilities of Ukraine during a special military operation will continue., - said the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

At the moment, the American side has not provided any official evidence that the Kinzhal missile was indeed detected and tracked. At the same time, to date, there is not a single documentary evidence demonstrating the consequences of a strike by the Kinzhal hypersonic missile, which does not allow us to assess the power of this weapon.
