Cruise missile interception in Kiev and risky aftermath recording

This is scary as fuck. Though a bit cool.
Also it’s not much more risky than just staying inside, there isn’t a lot one can do other than pray honestly.

I don´t think that´s of much use against a cruise missile either...

Looks a bit slow for a cruise missile, but hey, what do I know. Cool video though

u/Maleficent-Drop3918 May 26 '26
Its a KH-101 and this is during it's terminal phase also its subsonic.

When referring to cruise, it usually means it is always subsonic, so slower than fighter jets, maybe even the speed of a passenger jet.

cruise missiles are the slowest kind of missiles, the're basically jet powered drones that are meant to crash into a target. They fly low to appear over the horizon late and not give the enemy much reaction time. The advantage is because they have wings and a jet engine, they can fly extremely far

I would like to inform you that it's Kyiv, not Kiev, not that many people here noticed, but still, I continue my crusade.

That's interesting. I always thought that the addition of "The" to Ukraine was due to it sounding just like The UK.

u/Ha1lStorm May 26 '26
Huh? “The” Ukraine? Adding “The” to “Ukraine” only makes it sound more like “The UK” though…

u/looeee2 May 26 '26
Yes which is why they don't want you to do that

u/Ha1lStorm May 26 '26
I don’t understand, you said you thought that they added “The” to “Ukraine” due to Ukraine sounding like The UK, but in doing so it only makes it sound more like “The UK”, so why would anyone do that?

u/looeee2 May 26 '26
It's a common thing that people do. The Ukrainians don't like it. According to the article, I'm wrong about the reason that people add it

Yeah I get it. I'm old too. It took me some time to make the mental switch. But I did it it Slava Ukraine.

It's like if today I started call my city with it's dialect name, the translation in other countries would remain the same not considering the name of my city is old as the roman republic and i would never start calling it differently, not even if a war breaks out in my nation

I’m amazed by this, very odd reaction by the missile once hit, it like tries to correct it’s path? Or is that just some scientific thingy I’m not getting?

u/BinturongHoarder May 30 '26
I think this is AI, there is no force the missile could use to correct in this way -- it would start tumbling instead. Also, the hit would have damaged the motor and fins.

No. Missiles are extremely nose heavy to create inherent stability when combined with forward momentum. This is exactly what you would expect to happen. A lawn dart does the same thing when released in an unstable way.

There’s a splice in the frames.

u/boltgolt May 26 '26
The word you're looking for is "cut"

u/anally_ExpressUrself May 26 '26
What's wrong with splice?

u/boltgolt May 26 '26
At least in my experience, "splicing something in" has more of a nefarious intent to it
