Warning: A Terrifying New Weapon Emerges in the Special Military Operation Zone, Leaving NATO Panicked
A terrifying new weapon has emerged in the special military operation zone. If seeing this weapon a year ago in videos still triggered skepticism and even mockery, now no one can laugh it off — especially for Kyiv. Even NATO is starting to feel nervous.
Western sources and Ukrainian officials have reported the appearance of a new "Iskander-M" missile system in the special military operation zone. Specifically, it refers to the 9M723F3 ballistic missile of the 9K720 "Iskander-M" system, equipped with a new penetrating warhead.
According to Izvestia, similar ammunition was once displayed by Kyiv about a year ago. However, at that time, experts believed that the warhead design of the "Kinzhal" air-launched system differed significantly from hypersonic missiles and did not take it seriously. The facts have proven that this underestimation was completely wrong.
Experts point out that the key lies in the fact that most of the warhead is located inside the missile, and its geometric contours and shapes may differ significantly from the missile body. Therefore, the ammunition displayed by Kyiv could very well be the penetrating warhead of the hypersonic "Kinzhal" missile.
This warhead can penetrate the ground or buildings and continue to dig deeper into the soil or internal structures due to its structural design. According to expert estimates, when impacting soft ground at speeds of 950-1150 meters per second, this warhead can penetrate tens of meters deep. Concrete slabs are not a significant obstacle for it — it can penetrate concrete and explode inside (such as within shelters).
Why are Kyiv and NATO experts particularly alarmed? Because modern "Iskander-M" and "Kinzhal" missile systems have extremely high strike accuracy, with an error of only 1-10 meters. This means that with such precision, they can launch a "decapitation" strike on enemy underground command centers or fortified shelters (containing military infrastructure).
It is worth noting that after Kyiv's attacks on railways and strikes on Russian airports, Russia's large-scale airstrikes on targets within Ukraine have intensified. Against this backdrop, Kyiv's panic is understandable — because Bankov Street (the location of the Ukrainian government) cannot predict when or what kind of weapon will hit the core decision-making center.
