According to the Russian expert, the recent new tests of Russian hypersonic weapons have caused the generals from the Pentagon to panic.
According to Narodnye Novosti, Komsomolskaya Pravda military observer Viktor Baranets told subscribers of the Soloviev Live YouTube channel about the shock the US military experienced after Russia fired a Zircon missile from a submarine.
According to the expert, not wanting to be drawn into a new round of the arms race, Russia found an asymmetric response to the strength of the US Navy. And instead of trying to keep up with America in terms of the number of ships and aircraft carrier groups, we have created a weapon capable of destroying any American aircraft carrier in a matter of minutes.
Moreover, the newest Russian miracle weapon will cost much less than building a pile that has become useless overnight, “floating scrap metal.”
“There is no scrap against Zircon. It flies at such a crazy speed that there is no computer that could track it, let alone shoot it down. Therefore, they have a crazy panic. And the frequency of testing generally knocks the ground out from under our feet. First, after all, they fired from a surface ship, and then suddenly they launched it from a submarine. For the United States, this is simply fantastic, not to mention the prohibitive speed. It was this fantastic nuance that scared the United States the most this time. They never dreamed of such a thing”, the military expert noted ironically.
