Biden: Putin is evaluating chemical and biological weapons. Hypersonic missiles used
Meanwhile, the fear of chemical and biological weapons: Russian claims that Kyiv has such weapons are “false” and a “clear signal” that Vladimir Putin “is considering using both” in the war, US President Joe Biden said. Indeed, his Russian counterpart has “his back against the wall and “is preparing new false flag operations, according to the US leader.
Biden later confirmed that Russia was also using it hypersonic missiles in the bombing of Ukraine. But “with the same warheads used on the other missiles, they don’t make much of a difference, other than the fact that they’re almost impossible to intercept,” stressed the US President. British intelligence agrees. “It is very unlikely that the deployment of Kinzhal hypersonic missiles will materially affect the outcome of the Russian campaign in Ukraine,” said Mick Smeath, Deputy Marshal of the Royal Air Force (RAF), British Military Defense Attaché. Smeath then argues that it is “very likely that Russian claims of using Kinzhal are intended to downplay Moscow’s lack of progress on the land campaign”.
