What is the impact - that's what we do not know. E.g. no one of 5 Kinzhal missiles has been shot down, so they hit they targets, but we do not know these targets (And my guess is these targets are precious. Even VSFR would not spent expensive Kinzhals to cheap targets.) If any missile or drone hit a military target, Ukrainians are silent about it. If they hit some critical infrastructure, we may get know later.
At least, Russians have more knowledge of Ukrainian IADS and PSU has less SAM missiles. I guess it is just a start of a longer Russian campaign (unfortunately).
In fact, Kinzals are not precise on big distances. I remember that 3 such missiles hitted my city, Kolomiya. They targeted airport on the vicinity of city, where was a graduation of pilots. Missiles weren't shot down, but there was only one victim -- a boy, who was killed in his own house in kilometer from the airport.
Secondly l, it is one case when Russians used 6 Kinzals to hit 6 transformers
So, it is not a fact that Kinzals hitted something
It seems that Russia used a lot of missiles, including some expensive ones, for no military advantage and no noticeable economic impact.
