The Russian hypersonic missile "Zircon" has no external resemblance to the experimental American X-51 Waverider missile. This conclusion was reached by journalists from TWZ.
They recalled the origin of "Zircon" from the supersonic cruise missile "Onyx", which was discussed in the West back in 2020 due to the fact that both missiles can be launched from the 3C14 shipborne installation.
After the recent appearance online of a video about the training of the Russian Navy and Aerospace Forces in the Mediterranean Sea, TWZ finally ruled out the similarity between "Zircon" and the experimental American X-51 Waverider missile.
The image of the latter had previously been used in a number of media outlets to illustrate the likely appearance of the Russian missile.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the American M777A2 became an easy target for the Msta-S howitzer with Krasnopol-M2.
