Military expert Alexei Leonkov noted that the “Dagger” is designed to fight enemy ships. According to him, the complex’s missile can destroy or disable a destroyer, cruiser or aircraft carrier at a distance of up to two thousand kilometers from the coast. He stressed that this could interfere with the implementation of a strategy that involves a cruise missile strike from a distance of more than 550 kilometers from the coast.
Earlier, sources of the Izvestia newspaper reported on the preparation of infrastructure for the Kinzhal hypersonic complexes at military airfields. Russia is creating arsenals for storage and sites for servicing missiles.
In December, 19FortyFive suggested that Russia did not need the Avangard complex. The publication noted that the arsenal of ballistic missiles and without it allows you to break through the US missile defense system (ABM).
