The “hypersonic” MiG-31 in Kaliningrad responded to the B-52 over the Baltic. Russia's propaganda move? [COMMENT]

**Russia has deployed 3 MiG-31i fighter jets in the Kaliningrad Oblast, equipped with Ch-47M2 Kinjal missiles, described by the Russians as hypersonic. Moscow assures that they will be on permanent combat duty. However, the Russians' decision appears to be mostly propagandistic in nature and may be related to the presence of American B-52s over the Baltic. **
