according to ukrainian official sources, on the evening of september 11, in the neutral waters of the black sea, a russian x-22 missile hit the bulk carrier aya, flying the flag of the saint kitts and nevis islands, which was sailing with a cargo of ukrainian grain from chornomorsk (ilyichevsk) to egypt.

monitoring showed that two (according to other sources, three) russian tu-22m3 long-range bombers launched kh-22 missiles into the western black sea. their presumed target was a ukrainian offshore platform controlled by the ukrainian armed forces in the zmeny island area, but apparently one of the missiles mistakenly targeted a grain ship.

the kh-22 is a large, long-range anti-ship missile developed by the soviet union in the 1960s. its huge warhead is designed to target u.s. aircraft carriers and can be equipped with conventional or nuclear warheads. this is the first time that the kh-22 anti-ship missile has appeared in actual combat since it was put into service nearly 60 years ago.

unfortunately, the kh-22 anti-ship missile made its debut at the wrong target. to be honest, today's russian-made weapons are a joke.
