It is believed that the combination of maneuverability, speed, and low altitude of the Russian hypersonic missile "Zircon" makes it impossible to intercept with existing air defense systems and provides an asymmetric advantage to the Russian Federation over the NATO naval fleet. This was reported by the American publication Military Watch Magazine.
Since the Russian Navy is now based on small corvette and frigate class ships, elusive and powerful missiles are very important for creating an asymmetric advantage over NATO fleets.
Journalists recalled that Russia is also developing a ground-based installation for "Zircons," which will significantly expand the capabilities of the missile. In addition, the placement of the missile on MiG-31 supersonic carriers is being discussed, as a more advanced successor to the "Kinzhal."
Earlier www1.ru reported that the latest drones with thermobaric shells have appeared on the front lines.
