Russia first used "Zircon" for combat purposes
Western media reported on a strike by the Russian Federation on Syrian militants with the use of a Zircon hypersonic missile.
Avia.pro obtained information that the missile was launched from the Mediterranean Sea, from a combat ship. In fact, this is the first use of "Zircon" for combat purposes, as well as the first experience of using hypersonic weapons in the world.
“There are rumors that Russia has also tested the Zircon hypersonic missile in Syria. The Zircon missile was fired from a Russian warship. Shoigu did not confirm this information, but confirmed that the missile tests are continuing, without specifying where. It is known from sources that this summer Russia will test the Zircon hypersonic missile at the "state test" level, which means that this missile has already passed several flight tests. It is expected to enter serial production next year, ”writes Bulgarian Military.
Experts believe that the data needs more substantiated confirmation, but given the well-known fact about the testing of the latest Russian weapons in Syria, they may well be true. Avia.pro analysts note that the tests of the Zircon could have been disguised as being hit by the Kalibr cruise missile, so the launch was dispensed with without mandatory NATO control.
