Russian Industry Minister Denis Manturov announced that for the first time ever the Russian air defense complex S-350 Vityaz successfully destroyed a real air target during the war in Ukraine.

In a statement Manturov noted that "Just recently, [Russian metallurgy and heavy machine-building] Obukhov Plant has announced that the S-350 Vityaz anti-aircraft missile system, hit a target in the area of the special operation [in Ukraine] in automatic mode for the first time in the world, using artificial intelligence without the participation of the human."

Russian air defense systems are presently the only systems in the world capable of neutralizing hypersonic missiles, the minister said before he reaffirmed that once again, are exclusive to the Russian armed forces.
