Russia announced the use of the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal (Dagger) air-launched high-speed ballistic missile for the first time against a target in Ukraine on 19 March.

A video released by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) of the Russian Federation purportedly showed the missile being used against a Ukrainian ammunition depot in the west of the country.

“Destruction of a weapons depot of the armed forces of Ukraine by [a] high-precision missile weapons strike. We can see the exact hit of an underground hangar with weapons and ammunition,” the Russian MoD said on its official Twitter page.
