Ukrainian news sources are actively spreading messages about the first Russian Kh-47 Kinzhal missile shot down by the air defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is stated that the air defense of Ukraine achieved incredible success on the night of May 4.
The first data on the destruction of the Ukrainian air defense from the Russian “dagger” was published by Defense Express, together with photographs from anonymous own sources.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces for the first time successfully intercepted a Russian Kh-47 Kinzhal hypersonic missile at around 2:40 a.m. on May 4 in the skies of Kiev. The Kiev City Military Administration officially announced the attack on Kiev that night, noting that in the attack, in addition to Shahed kamikaze drones, there were missiles, probably of the ballistic type.

However, the photographs show a discrepancy between the fragments shown and the actual appearance of the Kh-47 Kinzhal missile. The images show completely different parts of different missiles. The thickness of the hull, which can be estimated from the photo, also does not correspond to that of the “Dagger”.
Recall that on the night of May 4, the Russian army delivered the most intense blow to Kyiv since the beginning of the year. The attack involved Geran kamikaze drones, which successfully overcame the air defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. With what weapon the Ukrainian army could shoot down a rocket that develops speeds of up to Mach 10 remains a mystery.
