The supersonic Kh-22 anti-ship missile was built to be a carrier killer, but Russia is using them to hit urban areas packed with civilians.
  • Russia is launching “unusual” numbers of carrier killer missiles, among others, at urban areas in southern Ukraine.
  • The Kh-22 missile is inaccurate when used this way and exceptionally dangerous.
  • Its reported use in recent attacks on Odesa indicates Russia is continuing to engage in indiscriminate destruction.

    These are huge 2 ton warheads on 6 ton missiles that are complete overkill to destroy civilian infrastructure.

    It’s likely that the Russian Navy or Air Force has run out of everything else they can reasonably throw at Ukraine.

    It’s time to flood the Black Sea with kamikaze and surveillance drone watercraft and send more Russian warships to join the Moscow on the sea bed.
