Increase in the number and intensity of Russian attacks on Ukraine using hypersonic missiles, which are up to twenty times faster than sound and can have unpredictable trajectories: This is happening in Kiev on New Year's weekend. Mario Scaramella, special operations advisor at the Ukrainian National Emergency Management Agency, reported the situation to Adnkronos.
“Polish airspace was also violated by a missile on Friday, which is a clear sign of the challenge and threat, even if Moscow has not yet commented on the incident,” the expert recalls. “Security has completely changed throughout Ukraine and the entire region: before we passed.” Train from Poland to Kiev in relative calm, now stations and railways are under attack, our hotels were not targets, but now they are under attack, such as hospitals, schools, bars and restaurants. When the sirens sound now, there is a different perception of the danger since “At the beginning of the war, these are the strongest attacks and cause many civilian casualties.”
“It is not only the search for critical targets such as gas pipelines and hospitals that is worrying,” said the expert, “but above all the use of hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, which are controlled by artificial intelligence and fired by fighter-bombers: they reach unimaginable speeds.” without a ballistic trajectory and hit what the AI identifies, meaning the algorithms accept civilians as targets. The Patriot missile defense systems used by the Americans to defend Kiev sometimes manage to intercept these monsters, but this is Russian roulette.” “It is clear that the use of hypersonic missiles poses a direct threat to Western countries supporting Ukraine,” emphasizes Scaramella. “Moscow has several dozen of these carriers and uses them to challenge and test European defenses.” The violation of Polish space is serious. We expect serious attacks tonight in line with the rhetoric of Putin, who will celebrate 24 years of his “rule” on January 1st.”
