The Russian Kh-55 missile, which was shot down over Kyiv on November 17, is capable of carrying a 350 kiloton nuclear warhead.

According to experts, its damage radius can reach up to 15 km. 

Valery Ryabikh, director of development of the information and consulting company Defense Express, told about it on Espresso.

"It seems to me that this signal with the Kh-55 missile should be considered very seriously and carefully, because this missile can carry a warhead of 350 kilotons. This is a very powerful hint of this creature that is sitting in the Kremlin," he noted. 

In his opinion, due to the possibility of missiles with nuclear warheads, new short- and medium-range air defense systems were transferred to Ukraine.

"No one could have thought that in the 21st century, such facilities, which ensure the livelihood of the population, would be attacked by a country that has such great capabilities," the expert noted.

Russia launched a cruise missile with a simulated nuclear warhead over Ukraine

On November 17, the Russian Federation once again carried out a new massive attack on Ukraine.

In total, the invaders launched 18 cruise missiles and five drones.

Unfortunately, some of the missiles hit infrastructure facilities in the Dnipro, Odesa and Kharkiv regions.

In particular, in the Dnipro, the enemy targeted "Pivdenmash".

23 people were injured there, including a fifteen-year-old girl, and hundreds of apartments were damaged.

Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, commenting on the attack of the Russian Federation, emphasized that the new missile strikes on Ukraine are 

aimed at gas production

.

On November 18, it became known that in one of the two Russian X-55 missiles, which was shot down over Kyiv, instead of a warhead, a block, which is an imitator of a nuclear warhead, was "screwed".

Occasional forces took at least one X-55 from their "nuclear arsenal", but "unscrewed" the nuclear warhead from this missile.
