The military ship ‘Admiral Gorshkov’, sent by Vladimir Putin to sail around the world, was spotted in the neutral waters of the Atlantic. It is the carrier of promising hypersonic missiles ‘Zircon’, moving through space at a speed of 7,000 mph.
According to The Sun, a Russian warship is within effective range of hitting the US coast with hypersonic missiles. At the time of preparation of the material, the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Defense did not comment on this information in any way.
Russian propaganda claims that on board the frigate, which is in the Atlantic Ocean, there are ‘unstoppable’ hypersonic missiles capable of carrying nuclear charges. They mean Zircon missiles with a flight range of 1,000 km. Journalists of the Russian mass media write that ‘Admiral Gorshkov’ is performing an image mission.
For the first time, the two-stage Zircon missile was tested by the Russian Navy in the fall of 2021. The target installed on the coast was hit by a missile launched from a distance of 500 km. The Kremlin plans to equip not only ships, but also submarines with hypersonic missiles.
