What is Ukraine’s ‘mystery missile’? Russia quaking after Kyiv uses ‘new weapon’ to blitz Putin on night of hell

VLADIMIR Putin has been left shell-shocked by a brand new mystery missile he claims Ukraine attacked him with overnight.

A massive strike ripped through an airport in Bryansk and reportedly destroyed a placement of Putin’s Iskander missile system.

A major explosion and fire with secondary detonations at Bryansk airfield led to speculation by Russian war channels that a new Western missiles was used, with some claims of a German-supplied Taurus.

Thursday saw one of the most explosive evenings of fighting for some time during the gruelling war.

The night of hell saw Putin exact revenge for Ukraine’s stunning Operation Spiderweb drone blitz last weekend.

The Russia tyrant hammered Ukraine with 407 drones and 44 missiles – unleashing a deadly wave of strikes that killed three and injured dozens.

But a valiant Ukraine hit back with their own set of attacks.

Dramatic footage shows one explosion, believed to be from the mystery weapon, followed by a powerful secondary blast.

A follow up attack also took out a launcher for the Iskander a day earlier, Ukraine claimed.

But the blasts were something never been seen before by the quaking Russians during their illegal invasion.

This led to speculation on pro-Kremlin media channels that Ukraine may have fired a powerful German-supplied Taurus missile.

Putin-loyalists Tsargrad said on Telegram: “Did the first Taurus strike Russia?

“Unprecedented escalation in Bryansk and destruction of Iskander missiles.”

As channel MIG Russia claimed the pinpoint Bryansk strike was carried out with Western-made long-range missiles.

If it was a Taurus, it would mark the first ever time it has been used by Kyiv.

The Russians would also view it as an “unprecedented escalation” in the conflict due to the damage the weapon can cause.

Discourse around German weapons has ramped up in the parts 24 hours ever since Chancellor Friedrich Merz met in the Oval Office with Donald Trump. 

German sources have had to deny that any agreement had been reached during the talks to send supplies of long-range Taurus’ to Ukraine.

In the last days of May, Merz announced that Ukraine’s main supporters, which include Germany, France, the UK, and the US, had removed limitations on the locations where donated weapons could be utilized.

And the announcement could even mean that Britain’s state-of-the-art Storm Shadow missiles could soon be used by Ukraine.

Britain’s bunker-busting Storm Shadow rockets are a nightmare for enemies as they are capable of dodging air defences.

The £800,000 missiles – already being fired within Ukraine – use GPS to precisely hit targets, and can travel at 600mph.

The Taurus missile system is widely regarded as Germany‘s equivalent to the Storm Shadow.

The tit-for-tat attacks came hours after US President Donald Trump said it might be better to let Ukraine and Russia fight for a while.

The president has been so far unsuccessful on getting the two countries to agree to peace – with Moscow not moving on its demands.

The American was full of praise for Ukraine though as he labelled the daring Operation Spiderweb attack as “strong and badass”.

The daring operation saw a fired up Ukraine wreck 41 Russian planes across the strategic airfields.

Putin’s doomsday bomber fleet was crippled with a third of his most prized aircraft lying in smouldering wrecks.

It comes as a new report accused Putin of plotting a final killer offensive along three fronts to win the war this summer.

The Russian army is nearing one million casualties in its bungled three-year-old invasion as peace talks continue to stall.

Currently, around 125,000 Russian troops are believed to be gathering along the Sumy and Kharkiv borders based on information from Ukraine’s military intelligence.

Over the past fortnight border villages have fallen to Russia as it is may to be preparing the ground for the offensive.

However, some high-ranking officials in Ukraine speculate that this could be a diversion and that Russia might actually be gearing up to launch an attack further south with the aim of advancing deeper into the Donbas region, as reported by Ukraine Pravda.

Russia is likely to attack through three areas near each other in the Donbas – Kramatorsk, Kostiantynivka, and Pokrovsk.
