Russia’s 'INVINCIBLE' Cold-War Era Weapon Hits Kyiv; Ukraine Cries 'CAN'T INTERCEPT KH-22s’

For the first time in the war, Russia has launched Kh-22 cruise missiles at Kyiv, marking a major escalation in the Ukraine conflict. Fired from Tu-22M3 strategic bombers, these Cold War-era missiles travel at near hypersonic speeds—considered nearly impossible for Ukrainian air defenses to intercept. Originally designed to destroy U.S. aircraft carriers, the Kh-22 remains devastating even decades later. Analysts warn Russia is tapping into Soviet-era stockpiles before decommissioning, while Ukraine faces the daunting challenge of countering one of the fastest air-launched weapons still in service. The threat is real, immediate, and historic—a chilling reminder that the war is entering a new, dangerous phase.
