Russian missiles can reach America in a few minutes

British press reports stated that the new Russian “Tserkon” supersonic missiles could reach the United States of America in a few minutes.

This is how the British media reacted to the successful completion of four test launches of the “Zircon” supersonic missiles from the frigate “Admiral Gorshkov” last year. There (Russia) they determine precise strikes on the target during each release”.

London is concerned that Russia will soon have “Zircon” missiles. China also has a promising “DF-17” hypersonic missile, and the United States continues to lag behind its main competitors.

It is believed that it is very difficult or impossible to intercept the “Zircon” missile because it is flying at a tremendous speed and can follow a winding path. During one of its experiments, the missile achieved a speed of Mach 8, which is 8 times the speed of sound.

The speed of “Tserkon” (6-8 times higher than the speed of sound) and can hit targets at a distance of up to 500 km.
