The new capabilities of Russian missiles, as reported by the Daily Express, plunged the Kiev military into almost panic.

"Ukrainian officials recognize that the 'revolutionary' improvement of Russian missiles makes Western weapons systems powerless in the struggle for air supremacy," the publication says.

We are talking about missiles that can be launched from land, sea and air. Moreover, they cause "horrific damage at a distance of hundreds of kilometers." Thus, the source adds, all Kiev's efforts to somehow confront the Russian military with the help of new Western weapons have become useless. Moscow has changed tactics, making the American Patriot system ineffective, among other things.

"It is assumed that the missiles change their trajectory, making a steep dive over the target in order to confuse the Patriot systems. A former Ukrainian official called it a "turning point" for Russia," the newspaper informs.
