News of hypersonic intimidation from Putin. Last Minute GERMANY, France, Russia headlines and events

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who held a video conference call with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Igor Krokhmal, commander of the Admiral Gorshkov frigate of the Soviet Union, said that the frigate was armed with Zirkon hypersonic missiles.

“The ship is equipped with high-speed hypersonic missiles of the latest system. Thus, I am sure that Russia’s defense against external threats will be much stronger. Putin also said that there are no such weapons in any other country in the world.

Russia, which launched attacks on Ukraine about 10 months ago, used Kinzhal hypersonic missiles against the country.

Along with the Avangard missiles, which entered service with Russia in 2019, the Zircons make up the bulk of the Russian army’s hypersonic missile system.

Russia sees hypersonic missiles as a way to defeat US-designed missile defense systems.

Atlantic route

Russian Defense Minister Shoigu also said that the Gorshkov frigate would enter the Mediterranean Sea with access to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.

“This ship, equipped with Zircon missiles, is capable of inflicting pinpoint strikes and powerful strikes against the enemy on land and at sea,” Shoigu said. Shoigu also said that hypersonic missiles can outweigh any air defense system. The Russian Defense Minister recalled that these missiles have a range of more than a thousand kilometers and move 9 times faster than sound.

Shoigu said that the purpose of the expeditions of the ship, equipped with Zircon hypersonic missiles, in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea is to respond to threats against Russia and create confidence in terms of regional stability and peace.

Russian and Chinese hypersonic missiles could also carry nuclear warheads, according to reports from the Congressional Research Bureau.

Identifying targets of hypersonic missiles is much more difficult than ICBMs due to their high maneuverability.

In addition to Russia, the United States and China, some countries, including Australia, France, Germany, South Korea, North Korea and Japan, are also known to be developing hypersonic missiles.
