According to american experts, in the middle of the 2020-ies almost any ship of the navy of Russia will be able to service hypersonic cruise missile "Zircon", able to fly at a speed greater than 5 mach. As noted by the national interest in april 2017, there have been several tests of "Zircon", although the intended maximum speed of mach 8, appears to be overstated, but the truth is that Russia produces, perhaps, better in the world missiles. Developed in less than 10 years "Zircon" has a range of 800-1 thousand kilometers, three times the performance of the american missile "Harpoon" and the high speed and low visibility to radar makes it difficult to intercept missiles. The Russian press reports "Zircon" is described as invulnerable. This is an exaggeration, but the combination of speed and maneuverability is indeed a serious threat, the newspaper writes. Ni surveyed analysts note that Russia is developing a "Zircon" with the possibility of the use of launches application installed on navy ships the system is vertical launch. The bad news for the us navy lies in the fact that the Russian navy this system is equipped from the tiny corvettes to heavy battle cruisers - the newspaper writes. The publication concludes that in the future the majority of Russian ships and submarines will receive a hypersonic missile "Zircon" which is "An example of the present line of Russia on the modularity and interoperability of weapons". Special report to the U.S. Air force, released in the fall of 2016, said that the us is lagging behind in the race of hypersonic weapons from China and russia, reports "Vzglyad".
