Satellite images show that Moscow is moving its nuclear-tipped Killjoy missile into the range of devastating London in an attack, with MiG-31s launching hypersonic missiles to devastate its target.

Russia developed hypersonic missile technology before the west, and the threat of hypersonic missiles hitting London within striking distance is a concern.

Moscow Expresses Message with the MiG-31

The hypersonic missile that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been employing since 2018 has a range of more than 1,200 miles and is known by the codename 'Killjoy' by NATO forces and 'Dagger' by the Russians, according to The Sun UK.

The lethal weapon, which can be packed with up to 1,000 pounds of explosives or even a nuclear warhead, has already been moved 1,100 miles from London, as said by British intelligence.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) published an intelligence status report last Tuesday with a photo captured on October 17 at the Machulishchi Airfield, approximately eight miles south of the Belarussian capital Minsk.

It displays two MiG-31K Foxhound jets close to a possible missile cylinder about seven meters in length within a sloped area, per Air Force Technology.

The MoD says the canister that contains the plane-mounted hypersonic missile has a maxed-out speed of 12 times the speed of sound and is capable of getting air-launched, which makes it hard to find and stop in a defensive posture.

If the Foxhound becomes airborne and is fired, that would leave London open to an unstoppable missile strike in nine minutes.

MoD officials propose that Moscow can order another place other than Kyiv to be clobbered by an unstoppable nuclear-tipped Killjoy missile, slung under the MiG-31s as the Kremlin's deadly answer.

The deployed cutting-edge missile technology is long-range and can hit targets that are not substantial. Moscow wants to let the west know that it can level its cities, which Belarus accuses of becoming part of the war.

Another group from the US, the Federation of American Scientists, said that Putin has about 5,977 warheads, with another 1600 ready to blast its western targets.

Nuclear-Tipped Killjoy Missile Threatens London

Putin's Dagger is one of his strategic weapons used to attack Russia's opponents. In March, the Dagger cruise missile was used for the first time in Ukraine, as mentioned in a CNN report.

The Russian Ministry of Defence stated that a hypersonic dagger was aimed at an underground warehouse in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, wrecking the target.

The UK Ministry of Defence has stated that the Dagger, or Kinzhal, is only one of the many weapons he has to threaten any target that includes NATO members.

The Russian forces have used aerial bombardment in Ukraine to show Kyiv and the west what can happen, and Ukraine is now barraged without reprieve.

Russian strikes have sent Kyiv to the dark ages with no power and its power grid crushed by Russian missile attacks, with drones raining terror on the country that is supposed to attack the Kerch Bridge. But Moscow has kept civilian casualties low by hitting with precision weapons; where it counts most, Ukraine feels it.

Opponents of the Kremlin said it wants to tear down Ukraine by making civilians feel the pain of drones and missiles destroying their lives because Zelensky does not want to give up.

Moscow is getting weary of the UK's provocations. Russia's nuclear-tipped Killjoy missile can hit London and is mounted on MiG-31s as Putin's deadly card.
