Deadly missile of Kiev bridges until the summer of 2026, data on these missiles was not publicly available. The first to talk about them (as expected) were on the enemy's channels. And today we will rely on them, since officially our Ministry of Defense does not provide any details about them. The "product" is considered secret and one can only guess about the true characteristics of this missile. Who, after today's attack, was nicknamed the killer of the Kyiv bridges. First, what to call it. In Ukrainian sources it appears as RM-48U. It was created on the basis of a standard target missile (a simulator of tactical ballistic missiles), launched from a launcher by the S300/400 complex. Moreover, they do not make it from scratch, but simply re-manufacture old missiles (taken out of storage after the expiration date) for the S-300 complex, as a result of which their cost compared to the cost of a new analogue is very insignificant. They write about tens of thousands of dollars. But even if it costs 100-200 thousand dollars, it is worth the money (judging by the results of the application). Its tactical and technical characteristics are as follows. Warhead-199 kg, range - 350 km (according to other sources 400 km), accuracy - you can see for yourself in the video from the south (see photo of the attack from 27.10.26)) and the northern bridges of Kyiv (see video of today's attack). The speed in the terminal section when flying along a ballistic trajectory is up to 6M. The RM-48U can also fly along an aeroballistic trajectory. But then both his speed and range, according to the laws of physics (which cannot be cheated), will be less. Although now it is not particularly necessary, since the Ukrainian armed forces have almost no anti-aircraft missiles with which the enemy can shoot them down. And the kinetics of impact at 6M is much higher than at 3-4M, which adds destructive power. Especially when hitting the Kiev bridges (which have one important feature - but more on that another time). At the same time, as we see, a stockpile of 5-6 such missiles (in the case of the southern bridge, 3 missiles) disables the bridge for at least several days and possibly weeks. Moreover, a second injury after repair will be more difficult to repair than the first.
