Russian Kh-101 missile crashes into tennis court in Kyiv.

GD&TĐ - Ukraine's air defense system successfully intercepted a Russian Kh-101 long-range cruise missile, causing it to crash into a tennis court in the capital Kyiv.

A shocking video , released on May 27th by the CFSW Ukraine channel on the social network "X", shows the Ukrainian Air Force successfully intercepting a Kh-101 cruise missile launched from a Russian aircraft, en route to attack the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.

Despite being hit, the Kh-101 missile did not shatter in mid-air, but instead appeared to completely lose control, wobbling for a while before crashing into an empty tennis court on the outskirts of Kyiv.

According to experts, this incident suggests that the Kh-101 was damaged by electronic warfare or structural debris rather than being hit directly by gunfire, so the missile retained a significant amount of kinetic energy until it crashed to the ground, creating a large explosion and a massive fire.

Reportedly, over the past week, Russia has launched a series of large-scale airstrikes on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, with each attack employing hundreds of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The types of missiles used include the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile, the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal supersonic ballistic missile, the 3M22 Zircon supersonic anti-ship cruise missile, the Iskander-M ballistic missile, the S-400 air defense missile, along with the Kh-101, Iskander-K, and Kalibr cruise missiles.

Russia even uses the 9M729 long-range cruise missile (with a maximum range of 1,500 to 2,600 km) launched from the 9P701 launcher of the Iskander-M1 system, which can hold four missiles simultaneously.

The 9M729 is a rare variant of the 3M14 Kalibr cruise missile; currently, the Russian Army only has about 50 of these missiles remaining in its arsenal.
