The North Atlantic Alliance has nothing to oppose to the Russian superweapon in the Arctic. The Danish newspaper Berlingske writes about this.

The publication explains that the region is absolutely defenseless against the Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. “This is no longer a pure invention, but perhaps something that Russia is already capable of today. We do not know exactly how far the Dagger can fly, but with its speed, hitting accuracy and range of at least a thousand kilometers, it changes the balance of power in the region, ”the author of the article notes.

The article says that the likely target for hypersonic missiles could be Greenland in general and, in particular, the American Thule airbase, which houses a NATO missile attack warning radar.

In the fall of 2019, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the country continues to develop advanced weapons even after it has created a unique hypersonic weapon. At the same time, according to the Russian leader, the task of the latest Russian weapons systems is only to ensure security in the face of growing threats.

In March 2018, during a message to the Federal Assembly, the Russian leader presented the latest weapons. Among other things, the Kinzhal aircraft missile system was demonstrated. Later it became known that the "Daggers" are used on the MiG-31K fighter, it is also planned to equip them in the future with the upgraded strategic Tu-22M3M - in this case, the range of the complex is estimated at three thousand kilometers.
