Xinhua: Zircon missile will not be able to intercept any of the existing missile defense systems

The Russian Zircon missile is so fast that it cannot be intercepted by any of the existing missile defense (ABM) weapons, including the US missile defense. Recently it weapon successfully tested.

The Chinese news agency Xinhua writes about it.



Test firing of the Zircon hypersonic cruise missile from the Admiral Gorshkov frigate was successful. They confirmed its performance characteristics in terms of speed, accuracy and range. During the naval parade in St. Petersburg, Russian President Vladimir Putin officially announced that this new type of weapon will soon enter the troops.

"Zircon", possessing great power, is able to maneuver, bypassing enemy missile defense systems. And even if they manage to shoot it down, by this moment it will be so close to the enemy ship that the debris of the rocket will damage it. The presence of stealth characteristics also helps it overcome missile defenses.

High speed, stealth and the ability to effectively overcome the defensive systems of a potential enemy make "Zircon" one of the main trump cards of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, according to the major Chinese media.

      At the same time, it is argued that the S-500 can confidently shoot down hypersonic targets.

        What she can and what she cannot, the general public will not know, I think some hypersonic ones and maybe, but maneuvering hypersonic ones are very unlikely

            "The Armed Forces (AF) of Russia do not have sufficient technical means to ensure target designation of promising hypersonic missiles" Zircon ", in fact, leaving such a Russian superweapon" blind ", writes Doctor of Military Sciences Konstantin Sivkov in the" Military Industrial Courier ". perhaps, first of all, if there are developed means of sea, air and space reconnaissance, which modern Russia does not have. In particular, the authors argue that one target in "important for Russia operationally important regions of the World Ocean", the four satellites of the "Liana" twice a day with a probable duration of a session no more than six to nine minutes.

              Not understood. And for "Zircon" you need some kind of special target designation, different from that for other missiles?

                Naturally. A cocoon forms around the rocket at hypersonic speed
                from plasma, does not transmit radio waves. Moreover, it is useless and optical
                guidance on the head of the rocket. To control a rocket flying on
                hypersound in the atmosphere requires unthinkable tricks.
                The second option is to slow down to supersonic sound at the terminal site.
                How targeting is embodied on Zircon is unknown.
                The complete absence of photographs (even approximate) of this rocket
                do not allow any assumptions about its targeting.
                It is not even clear if it has a ramjet engine.

                  But if it is not clear in principle how the Zircon is controlled, then where did Konstantin Sivkov get the idea that Russia does not have enough technical means for this, and what does Liana have to do with it?

                  To control a rocket flying on
                  hypersound in the atmosphere requires unthinkable tricks.

                  First, the rocket flies along the INS and can make adjustments only shortly before hitting. For this, the "window" provided by the method of radio communication through the plasma envelope using a pulsed electric field is sufficient.
                  secondly, the plasma cocoon is formed at speeds above 5M. In view of the fact that the task of hypersonic weapons is to minimize the time for the enemy's missile defense reaction as much as possible, the maximum speed can remain on the main segment of the flight path. And already at a distance of 30-40 km from the target, the speed can be dropped to 2,5-3M. At the same time, it is possible to correct the flight both with the help of its own radar, and with a signal from the outside.

                    Then there is no question. If the rocket slows down 30-40 km in front of the target
                    to the usual supersonic sound, you can aim it at the target in the usual ways.
                    But the missile defense system can also bring it down in the usual way.

                      Alexey, in my opinion, it is possible to control a rocket at high speed due to impulse correction (RCIC-technology - international designation, general designer V.S. Vishnevsky; Smelchak ammunition). I am confident that hypersonic missiles will slow down in the final segment. Even if the rocket drops 40-50 km. to the target speed up to 4M, then the "reaction" remains about half a minute. Detect, classify, capture a target and launch your anti-missile or projectile in such a period of time ... the probability of being hit is very small. hi

                      can. But the reaction time will be catastrophically short. It is not enough to detect it, you still need to identify and give target designation. The rocket will fly a distance of 30 km at a speed of 2,8M in 36 seconds.

                        Firstly: in 35 seconds, a fighter manages to get up, refuel and line up, and even this time will be enough for digital brains and an anti-missile to intercept.
                        Secondly, the radars will detect a hypersonic rocket flying in the stratosphere from the maximum range, and this is already a few minutes count, even for the not very new SPY-1.

                  =========
                  First: not "non-transmitting", but "absorbing", more precisely - "stopping" radio waves. I hope you understand the difference?
                  Secondly: the characteristics of the plasma cloud depend not only on the flight speed (why the actual concept of "hypersound" is considered very relative -> 5M is only a generally accepted "standard"), but also on a bunch of other parameters, namely:
                  - on the density of the atmosphere (and hence the flight altitude);
                  - on the state of the atmosphere (including saturation with vapors and electrification);
                  - from aircraft skin material:
                  - on the quality of its processing;
                  - and finally, the plasma permeability depends on the wavelength of the EM radiation.

                  It is quite possible that the rocket on the cruise section is flying at a very high altitude (for example 50 km) and low hypersonic speeds (5M-6M), when the plasma cloud ("cocoon") may well be permeable to a sufficiently powerful radar. After detecting the target and calculating the "meeting point", the missile can attack the target, performing anti-aircraft maneuvers, and accelerating on a descent ....... The radar in this case is no longer needed - the target (a large surface ship, for example) will no longer have time deviate from the course for a sufficient distance due to the extremely short "approach" time). At very small distances, you can use magnetic correction ...... Somewhere like that! hi

                    The target is detected either by radar or IG video.
                    Supersonic Brahmos (3 MAX) detects a target with its radar
                    after preliminary inertial aiming.
                    But the Barak-8 missile defense missile on a head-on course is quite capable of shooting it down.
                    This was tested in India, which has both Brahmos and Barak.
                    If Zircon slows down to the speed of Brahmos, then there is a possibility
                    to intercept him towards. If it doesn't slow down, then he has a problem
                    hit the target.
                    There is a possibility that Zircon is Brahmos with an added booster,
                    which throws it up to 30 km and accelerates to hyperspeed.

                      WHAT is "Brahmos"? It looks like you don't know! "Brahmos" is just Indian version of the Yakhont missile (an export simplified version of the Onyx anti-ship missile system with a firing range "cut down" to 300 km (requirements of the international "Agreement on the Limitation of the Proliferation of Missile Technologies")), adapted to the real capabilities of Indian technologies.
                      Could Zircon be a booster version of Brahmos? Definitely - NO! Even a version of the much more advanced and long-range "Onyx" - also CANNOT be!
                      The reasons:
                      a) - the "Onyx" engine - does not provide a gas jet outflow speed of 8 - 12 M! There it is approx. 3M! So the engine is UNIFORMAL - other!
                      b) - aerodynamics of flight at hypersonic speed is very different from that for supersonic speeds (approx. 3M). This means that the shape of the aircraft itself should be SIGNIFICANTLY different from the "licked" shape of "Onyx" / "Yakhont" / "Brahmos"!
                      c) - a long flight even in the upper layers of the stratosphere at hypersonic speeds leads to a stronger heating of the aircraft surface, in comparison with all of the above missiles. Conclusion construction materials are needed - OTHER (more heat-resistant and less heat-conducting)!

                    RCC is much more mobile. Right. But how do you know where to shoot? How to find out the elements of the target's movement and work out the shooting data if the target is 500 kilometers, for example? It is for this that external target designation from reconnaissance systems is needed (if their means do not see the target). If there is no reconnaissance, long-range shooting is impossible. To launch an anti-ship missile, you need to know the course, speed and distance to the target. Develop and enter firing data, launch. And if the white light is like a pretty penny, then there will be no sense.

              this subject has nothing to do with the NPO "Mechanical Engineering. He can declare something about the performance characteristics only on the basis of a finger in the sky. He is a military analyst-political scientist and can talk about technical aspects the same way I do about ballet
              Accurate target designation of the Zircon is possible, first of all, if there are developed means of sea, air and space reconnaissance, which modern Russia does not have.

              I wonder why he does not say the same about the "Brahmos", developed by the same Mashstroy, and having a similar flight range at a speed of 3M? Or does he consider him a dummy too?

            But no one knows a damn thing what Zircon is either.


            Especially for you information about Zircon from the translation of the same article "Xinhua".
            The length of the body of the Zircon hypersonic missile is from 8 to 11 meters, the weight of the warhead is from 300 to 400 kg, the flight speed reaches Mach 9, the flight range can exceed a thousand kilometers, and the maximum flight altitude is more than 30 km. The flight speed of Mach 9 already puts the rocket on a par with the world's leading hypersonic weapons.

            The Zircon missile has great power and is able to maneuver when approaching the target, thereby more effectively evading missile defense systems. In addition, it has powerful stealth characteristics, as the plasma stealth shield on the outside of the hull can absorb radar waves. The super-fast flight speed, combined with its powerful anti-aircraft penetration capability and stealth, gives the Zircon hope to become Russia's "trump card" in armaments.

            Russia started developing the Zircon hypersonic missiles back in 2011. It uses the versatile Russian vertical launcher 3C-14, which significantly saves time and costs for installation and maintenance.

          Hypersonic missiles are divided into ballistic and cruise missiles.
          The first ones fly in space and attack the target almost vertically downward.
          These are ICBMs (like Yars) and medium and short-range ballistic missiles (like Iskander).
          The second - winged - or 1) glide from space (gliders), or 2) fly
          in the atmosphere.
          An example of the former is the Vanguard. Example of the second - ... there is no example, they are not yet available

          I think so too. Zircon is the development of Brahmos. Added booster,
          to throw it to a height of 30 km. From there - flight and then gliding with braking.

      Cloudy message. The Chinese cannot know anything specifically. What a stealth technology when a rocket flies in a corona of plasma. The maneuverability with ramjet engines at such speeds is questionable.
      Or is there a fundamentally different technology.

        It is unlikely that the engine is straight-through.

      Russian Zircon rocket is so fast

      Not faster than a BRMD / IRBM.

      Answer: According to Lewis Carroll, a clock that does not run at all is better: it shows the exact time twice a day,

      Hypersonic missiles are divided into ballistic and cruise missiles.
      The first ones fly in space and attack the target almost vertically downward.
      These are ICBMs (like Yars) and medium and short-range ballistic missiles (like Iskander).
      The second - winged - or 1) glide from space (gliders), or 2) fly
      in the atmosphere.
      An example of the former is the Vanguard. Example of the second - ... there is no example, they are not yet available
      into service with any country. There are test samples.

      Hypersonic weapon - a missile weapon capable of flying in the atmosphere at a hypersonic speed (greater than or equal to 5 M) and maneuvering using aerodynamic forces.

        Hypersonic weapon - a missile weapon capable of flying in the atmosphere at a hypersonic speed (greater than or equal to 5 M) and maneuvering using aerodynamic forces.
        It should also be mentioned that the only hypersonic vehicles in the world that have proven the ability to support hypersonic flight are:
        -American X-43
        -American X-51
        Все.
        Others are either on mock-ups and digital models, or are known only from the promises of deceitful officials.
        Such is America's hypersonic lag behind Russia, which patriots talk about every day.

      but maneuvering hypersonic ones are very unlikely

      How do you imagine a maneuver at a speed of 9M? Will it give out the same somersaults as the fighter?

      Quote: Ka-52
      And already at a distance of 30-40 km from the target, the speed can be dropped to 2,5-3M. In this case, it is possible to correct the flight both with the help of its own radar, and with a signal from the outside.

      But at the same time, Andrey, the rocket ceases to have hypersonic speed. And what, the adversary has already forgotten how to shoot down supersonic targets? The Xinhua article is generally not clear about what.

      Quote: Kasym
      Even if the rocket drops 40-50 km. to the target speed up to 4M, then the "reaction" remains about half a minute. Detect, classify, lock on a target and launch your anti-missile or projectile in such a period of time ... the probability of being hit is very small.

      You just forget that the flight altitude of a hypersonic missile is about 35-45 km. Therefore, the entire procedure for detecting, classifying and capturing a target has already been carried out by that time. It only remains to "wait" for the speed to drop to supersonic and launch an anti-missile ...

      Avant-garde, by the way, as many as 2 pieces and will no longer be, a dead-end branch, purely PR. He did not pass all the test stages. But for the sake of solidity, everyone was told that it was already in service. Everything that cannot be checked and poked at Putin is in service.

      How much is in service now - HZ. At the time of staging, the starting minimum was set. And this is 2 PU and KP. In total, judging by open data, it is planned to deploy as many as 2 regiments on these missiles (100N UTTH). And this is 12 pieces.
      I completely agree that I did not pass all the test stages. Not only that, only 5 tests were carried out (and two measures were unsuccessful_, so they were carried out along the route, which is viewed by the Americans and this product could hardly do any maneuvers in order not to reveal real possibilities.

      zircon tests completed, now in series

      Already??????? Fired twice from a frigate and finished all tests ??? And they are not going to start up from the submarine? So that on "Ash" will be in the future "Zircon" - linden ???
