⚡️The 🇷🇺 Kinzhal, like the Iskander missile from which it derived, carries decoys.

The decoys are released at high altitude and intended to look like incoming missiles.

They are intended to be shot down - and the 🇺🇸 Patriot can see them due to their low speed.

⚡️🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 NATO will step back to the future at its Vilnius summit in July, with leaders set to approve thousands of pages of secret military plans that will detail for the first time since the Cold War how the alliance would respond to a Russian attack.

The move signifies a fundamental shift - NATO had seen no need to draw up large-scale defence plans for decades, as it fought smaller wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and felt certain post-Soviet 🇷🇺 Russia no longer posed an existential threat.
