Two Russian ’Kalibr’ missiles were shot down with single missile: anti-aircraft gunners from ’Centre’ Military District carried out double interception using ’Hawk’ air defence system. VIDEO

Air defence personnel from the "Centre" Air Command destroyed two Russian 3M14 "Kalibr" cruise missiles at once, using just a single anti-aircraft guided missile from the MIM-23 "Hawk" system.

According to Censor.NET, a video released, filmed via the air defence system’s targeting system, captures the moment the Russian missiles, flying one after the other, were hit.

Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners hit the first, lead missile. The powerful explosion proved sufficient to trigger the detonation of the second "Kalibr" missile, which was flying behind it.

The footage shows a bright flash, after which several fiery objects appear in the field of view. Thus, with a single anti-aircraft missile launch, Ukrainian defenders destroyed two enemy aerial targets at once.
