The aggressor country, Russia, is already using the X-69 cruise missile with a new warhead to attack Ukraine.
On the night of October 19, Ukrainian air defense shot down a Russian Kh-69 cruise missile with a cluster warhead. This is the first time this weapon with such a combat load has been discovered. The corresponding photo is provided by the Ukrainian Telegram channel “Colonel General Staff”, as reported by the portals “Military” and Defense-Express.
If you find such balls on the ground, do not touch them and call the State Emergency Service, experts say.
Russian propaganda claims that the X-69 is capable of delivering a warhead weighing 310 kg to targets at a distance of at least 300 km. These missiles can be launched by Su-30, Su-34 and Su-35S aircraft, as well as the latest Su-57.
Let us recall that in the spring of this year the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces announced that Russian troops began to use Kh-59/Kh-69 missiles more often when carrying out attacks on Ukraine.
