‘Huge problem’: Retired colonel on Russia hitting Ukraine with 6 hypersonic missiles

When Russia launched a total of 95 missiles at major cities across Ukraine on Thursday morning, it included six Kinzhal ballistic missiles that eluded Kyiv's air defenses, the Ukrainian military said. Col. Cedric Leighton (Ret.) and former Defense Secretary Mark Esper discuss. #CNN #News

"Russia is low on missiles" "Russia running out of missiles" ""Russia out of missiles" How many times does this get repeated with no effect. Sixty years old and have never seen a war before where a strategy seems to be hoping your opponent runs out of bombs to throw at you.

Shovels are very expensive for us Russians, so we switched to hypersonic weapons.

[igorseprak]

The Russians ran out of shovels, so they decided to use hypersonic weapons...

[anthonyloveanthonylove]

When puttin unveiled those hypersonic weapons 6 years ago our experts was saying “it’s a bluff he is not there yet “

Shouldn't have bombed Donetsk in 2014

Last week CNN said Russia ran out of missiles and was fighting with shovels.

[Herodotus__]

They were not missiles. They were hypersonic shovels. Russia has ran out of missiles months ago.

[Castorp-wndh]

Let me get this straight. Russia has a a type of missile that can carry conventional or nuclear warheads and can hit an aircraft carrier or a city like New York and US has no efficient defence against this kind of weapon?

God is using Putin to bring justice to this world.
Kneel before God, kneel before Putin, the God’s messenger, the bringer of justice, the holder of the Sacred. Amen. 🙏

CNN told us that Russia don't have any missile left

I am a Wagner Assault trooper attacking Bahmut with shovels. In my free time, I like to read CNN comments to get good tactical information. Please continue.

5-10 times speed of sound and we in the west are deciding which bathrooms to use!

[annasullano]

Hahahaha NaTO planners were killed in Ukraine....hahaha

[exposingthetruth]

5 times the speed of sound? Can you even see one with the eye? That's insane.

[johnhough]

So ... Russia is allowed to do anything it likes to Ukraine, but Ukraine isn't allowed to do anything a bit too annoying to Russia?
Dammit ... these new rules of social behaviour are getting to me ...

[geoffreykeating]

What's wrong with Putin ? All this is unnecessary

[aaronmicalowe]

Our lacklustre support for Ukraine reflects our lacklustre will to live. Make no mistake, our future is tied to Ukraine.

[douglashughes]

My question is: Why is Russia shooting such expensive ammo without a high value target? All that munition to kill 6 people and hit some apartment blocks?
Seems desperate or really bad management of their war effort

[jennyjenny]

War is a booming business, apparently.
