  1. One thing people are unaware is that Russia is tested mounting Tzirkon as a last, third stage, of its submarine launched ICBM Bulava… In that configuration it can even target enemy submarine that is under water! Yes you read it right it can target subs that are submerged

  2. Hypersonic missile needs huge fuel-load so please do not speak b .. s First it needs motor to go hypersonic phase – then eject transonic motor and start hypersonic motor. THEN rocket will eat huge loads of propelant. USA generated this kind of nuclear motors in 80s and finds it unpractical. Any other kind oxidising fuel is only for rather short ranges. So this is desperate propaganda and mark of Russias collapse. Air is like stonewall after mach 1 onwards.

  3. USS74:

    Radar control room: ā€œSir, I think we’re fucked, Sirā€
    Ship Captain: ā€œWhat do you mean we’re fucked sonā€
    Radar control room: ā€œSir, we’re about to be boarded by Mr Zircon, Sir.ā€

  4. Today US air craft carriers are obsolete, each aircraft carrier can be sinked with one hypersonic missile hit. There is no way that a U.S. air defense can stop them, so stop the BS because as Putin said US aircraft carriers are no longer a treat.

  5. First of all Russian electronic warfare system is the most powerful system which they have tested and we’re able to blind US satellites, and the US Agee’s systems. Russian hypersonic missiles from 2000 klm away can sink US aircraft carriers with one hit. US carrier groups are obsolete. US can’t do anything against Russia.

  6. physics proves that objects passing through an atmosphere at hypersonic speeds develop a plasma (ionized molecules) that prevents transmission of electro-magnetic radiation. This means that hypersonic missiles cannot transmit or receive emf signals to direct its flight, thus making them hard to control. Also to make them accurate, some distance before hitting target they need to slow down to mach 1.5 to 2.0 for control and reception of gps or other emf signals that direct it. During this last "slow speed" part of the flight is when they can be shot down if interceptors are nearby. These hypersonic missiles can be defended against.
