Did Russia intercept America’s newly developed ‘Rusty Dagger’ cruise missiles supplied to Ukraine? Moscow’s Defence Ministry reportedly claimed its air defences had shot down the US-made weapons, only to delete the announcement without offering an explanation. The claim has raised questions about what happened, especially as the reported interception would mark a first involving the missile. Ukraine has yet to confirm or deny any losses, and Russia has not disclosed where or how many missiles were allegedly intercepted. Is this a battlefield revelation or a claim Moscow is no longer willing to stand by?
