Ukraine says new missile fired by Russia flew for 15 minutes, faster than Mach 11

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday promised more combat test-firing of an experimental hypersonic missile launched at Ukraine, as Volodymyr Zelensky appealed for updated air-defense systems to meet the new threat.

Britain and NATO are set to hold emergency talks about Russia after Putin vowed to fire more hypersonic missiles into Ukraine this week.

The unprecedented firing by Ukrainian forces of British-made long-range Storm Shadow missiles at military targets inside Russia last week means the UK, along with the US, is now viewed by Moscow as a legitimate target for punitive, possibly violent retaliation.

Vladimir Putin has ramped up production of a new hypersonic missile he fired against Ukraine last week, boasting 'no one in the world has such weapons'.
