'Decisions on such attacks are not made in Kyiv, but in Washington,' a furious Peskov said. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov insisted - without providing evidence - the US was 'undoubtedly' behind the strike that he said was carried out by Ukraine - claims the White House dismissed as 'lies'.Īround 40 explosive-laden drones with 'for Moscow' scrawled on them were fired at cities that were miles away from the front line, with explosions heard in the capital Kyiv and southern cities of Odesa and Zaporizhzhia. Pictured: A fireball is seen rising over the Kremlin after an alleged drone strike by Ukraine on Wednesday Russian forces had launched a barrage of missiles at Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities in the early hours of Thursday after two drones struck the Kremlin in a strike Russia has blamed on Ukraine and the US. It has a range of 1,250 miles and its conventional version was deployed for the first time against Ukraine in March 2022. The Kinzhal can be fired from the MiG-31, Tu-160 or Tu-22M3M warplanes, and it has been used by Moscow in the war. 'Ukrainian military experts are trying to pass off the image of a water pipe as the wreckage of a rocket,' said one.
Russian war sites have strongly disputed the Ukrainian claim as 'nonsense'. 'The hole in the wreckage… indicates the possible use of such a missile.' 'In most cases, defeating such a target is possible only with the help of the Patriot PAC-3 air defence system with a PAC-3 MSE kinetic interceptor. The site said: 'Outdated Soviet air defence systems are not capable of shooting down such a missile… 'This explains the powerful explosion heard by Kyiv residents on the night of 4 May.' 'It also indicates that the intercept was quite effective, with the warhead destroyed in midair. 'The wreckage shows that it sustained penetration damage, which allows us to estimate the thickness of the material needed to withstand the high temperature during acceleration to hypersonic speeds.
Specialist Defense Express website said: 'One of the photos shows the nose cone, which is as similar as possible to the one used in the Kh-47 Kinzhal missile with a complex shape of sharp diameter transitions.
