Well, the Russians have them. The Chinese have them. The US as well. Not to forget the North Koreans.
Only difference so far: Russia showed off its Kinzhal missiles in a battlefield environment and destroyed two enemy targets in the frame of Putin's 'specially operated war' on Ukraine.
We understand that such weapons are constructed to outwit enemy missile defense systems, especially when hypersonic gliders change their direction during flight. But if that's really successful under war conditions, nobody knows up to know.
不过，美西方官员和媒体对这一强大武器的评论，有点“酸”。有西方专家称，俄罗斯这是在“炫技”，还有媒体称，俄罗斯只想获得一种“吓唬所有人”的心理优势。
China News Service, March 22 - Twenty-two days after the launch of military operations in Ukraine, the Russian military launched the "Dagger" hypersonic missile for the first time.
However, American and Western officials and media's comments on this powerful weapon are a bit "sour". Some Western experts said that Russia is "showing off its skills", and some media said that Russia just wants to gain a psychological advantage to "scare everyone".
