Russia now has many weapons that guarantee its superiority in air, land and sea. Which of these weapons are the most popular and where are their dangers?
Hypersonic “Zircon” missiles, which can be launched from land and sea, are among the leading Russian missiles that guarantee the superiority of the military today, and these missiles can fly at a speed of 9 times the speed of sound, that is, faster. They can reach their targets at a distance of more than 10,000 km / h. up to 1500 km.
According to available information, “these missiles have a high capability to avoid anti-missile missiles” and experts confirmed that “if a Zircon missile is launched from international waters, the time to reach Washington will not exceed 5 minutes”.
In his speech on the occasion of the Day of the Russian Fleet, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Russian army and navy will soon receive the “Tsirkon” missile systems, and the frigate “Admiral Gorshkov” the will be Russia’s first ship. it is armed with missiles and “the place of service of this ship will be chosen. According to the requirements to ensure the security of Russia.”
Anatoly Sentsov, vice president of the Russian scientific production company “Machinostroyenny”, also recently announced that “his company has comprehensive plans for the production of an aerial model of the hypersonic Tsirkon missile and has all the necessary design to produce this type of missile, if necessary, we will also produce.”
Among the important missiles owned by Russia is the intercontinental ballistic “Sarmat” missile, which can carry various warheads to every region of the world, including nuclear warheads weighing up to 10 tons.
The first launch of the intercontinental ballistic missile “Sarmat” from the “Plesetsk” cosmodrome in the Russian Arkhangelsk region was carried out on April 20, and the launch activities were carried out in full, and the design features were confirmed in all project stages. the missile flight and the training warheads reached the specified area. At the Kura training ground in Kamchatka, the Ogorsky missile unit in the Krasnoyarsk Territory is currently preparing to equip the main missile regiment with a new missile system.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Sarmat missile will enter service with the Russian armed forces by the end of this year.
Vladimir Degtyar, Russian expert and chief designer of the Russian Makeyev Missile Industry Center, said: “The Sarmat underground missile launch containers are a complex engineering structure. The missile can perform its tasks regardless of the conditions.”
Among the selected Russian attack missiles is the high-precision hypersonic missile “Kinzhal”, carried by MiG-31 fighter-interceptors.
This missile can hit targets at a distance of more than 2,000 km, bypassing all existing and future air defense and missile defense systems, and this missile entered combat service with the Russian army several years ago.
Among the Russian weapons of greatest interest to the West at the moment is the large nuclear submarine “Belgorod”, which military experts “can carry small submarines in the form of torpedoes, carrying destructive nuclear warheads and stay in the water for a long time. ” It attacks water and coastal targets at long range and up to 600 miles from the main submarine carrying it.
Media sources say that “this submarine can carry systems for strategic nuclear Poseidon missiles, and these missiles are intended to respond to the enemy in the event of a Russian nuclear attack and carry nuclear warhead with a power of several megatons and cause massive damage. .” Waves of radiation that made America’s coastal cities uninhabitable for a long time.”
