Russia threatens to hit US aircraft carriers that came to support Israel

Today, Vladimir Putin announced that Russian MiG-31I/K fighters, carriers of the Kinzhal hypersonic missile systems, will patrol over the Black Sea.

This can be regarded as a clear signal from the United States, which sent two aircraft carriers to the Mediterranean Sea.

"Dagger" can hit a US aircraft carrier and the missile defense system will not be able to protect it. A 500 kg warhead may seem small, but due to its extremely high speed, it can penetrate the hull of an aircraft carrier and explode inside the ship, causing severe damage or even sinking the aircraft carrier in the worst case scenario.

Thus, Putin clearly made a big threat. He said and showed in practice that Russia can intervene if necessary.
