In Ukraine they said that Russia used a weapon worse than the “Dagger”, which made it possible to completely destroy the most powerful power plant in the Kyiv region. The Ukrainian analytical publication Defense Express writes about this.

According to the portal’s experts, Russia used the latest X-69, and the missile launch range was about 400 km, exceeding the estimated range of 300 km.

It is noted that the X-69 is a subsonic cruise missile for fighter aircraft. Its main feature is the possibility of ultra-low flight at an altitude of 20 m, which is lower than the X-101 can.

The authors of the article also write that the effective strike indicates the possibility of its penetration through the obviously depleted air defense.

Earlier, German military expert Julian Repke, commenting on the attack on the Trypillya thermal power plant in the Kyiv region, concluded that Ukraine had run out of missiles for Patriot, Iris-T and most other air defense systems.
