Approximate dates of the first flight tests of the Zircon hypersonic missile from an underwater carrier have been announced

58

On Naval Day fleet Russia has information about plans to test the Zircon hypersonic missile from an underwater carrier. Recall that a few days earlier, another test of a hypersonic anti-ship missile was carried out on board the newest Russian frigate "Admiral Gorshkov". The missile reportedly successfully hit a target, which was elements of coastal infrastructure. The launch was carried out from a distance of about 350 km.

According to the information service TASS with reference to sources, it is planned to conduct the first flight tests of the Zircon from the board of the nuclear submarine K-560 Severodvinsk. This is the Project 885 Yasen multipurpose nuclear submarine (the lead ship of this project). Previously, this submarine was used to test Russian-designed Kalibr cruise missiles. Submerged launches of Caliber were carried out in 2016. The targets were then hit from a distance of about 600 km.





According to reports, the first flight tests of the Zircon hypersonic missile from the Severodvinsk nuclear submarine are planned to be carried out approximately in August this year. This will be the next stage of flight design tests of the newest Russian weapons, characterized by special speed characteristics.

Earlier, commenting on the tests of "Zircon" in the Russian Federation, foreign media came out with materials that indicate the senselessness of the American missile defense system if Russia has hypersonic missiles. The British press noted that Russia, by equipping its submarines with Zircons, will be able to "threaten Great Britain from the near sea zone." At the same time, it is added that Britain does not have any capabilities to intercept the hypersonic weapons of the Russian Federation.

        Well, don't believe the panic of the British media) this is just an information war in action. The firing range is such that it takes a very long walk to reach Britain and get very close to launch. They are not fools in the British Navy, and they are capable of pushing the ASW lines beyond the launch range. And with PLO they are doing very well. Unlike us.

      No other arguments worked for them.

        There is a category of people who will deny with any argument. Well, if they said about the Crimean bridge that it was just a hologram, then they can only be convinced of the reality of Zircon when they come under the blow of this very Zircon.

                      According to objective control data, the Zircon hypersonic anti-ship cruise missile direct hit successfully hit a naval target at a distance of 450 km. The rocket's flight speed was more than Mach 8.

                Maybe people think so because there is a reason? And they see on the one hand - the United States is the first economy in the world, the GDP is an order of magnitude higher than the GDP of other countries, there is Silicon Valley, there are breakthrough companies and products that dominate the world: Apple, Intel, AMR, Google, SpaceX, etc., big money is spinning there and scientists from all over the world go there to work or work remotely, plus a citation rating in scientific journals, the number of patents and Nobel laureates, the number of industrial robots per 10000 people, etc. On the other hand, Russia. And, what is most sad, even if Russia launches Zircon into mass production, the situation will repeat itself as with the F-35 - dozens of our missiles against a thousand of them.

          Hit accuracy, trajectory, range - these are the most important secrets of a weapon that allow it to remain effective for a long time.

          When I read heart-rending screams in the comments that they say nothing is indicated, but not shown, I always want, as in the film "Adjutant of His Excellency", to ask the questioners - "Pavel Yuryevich, are you a spy?" laughing

        But on the other hand, our sofa "experts" said that since they did not show how it (the rocket) hit the target, it means that there is no rocket.

        For that they "passionately love" Russia .. Like - "We will destroy the whole world (Russia) of violence, to the core!" Why ????

          That's why they "passionately love" Russia ..

          It turns out that if I believe that Russia is a Great Power, I am "Hurray patriot", and they hate everything that happens in our country "Kaput patriots"

      IMHO, these are not "flight" tests, these are tests of launch systems from submarines. Bo in the sky Zircon is already flying))

        And not only. Apparently, the system for receiving and entering firing data is being checked. submerged boat. Well, and of course, the underwater launch system. Although, judging by the video of the launch of Onyx / Caliber, there should be no problems with the UKSK. And yet, who knows exactly what needs to be "expanded" there !?

      Now, let's see first a surface launch or an underwater launch at once. The technology of launching from under water is probably different from a surface launch.

      The technology of launching rockets from under water has long been developed.
      The actual rocket too.
      Here it remains only to check the complete system.
      We wish the designers success.

      If it is launched from a standard cell, then, probably, it can be put on the coastal anti-ship missiles complexes? Which Onyxes shoot.

        No precise information has yet come across, but there is an inner confidence that it is possible.
        It will be both right and very good. hi
        And everyone in the Black Sea will calm down, and we will rearm the Cliff in the Crimea (there have already been rumors), and the Yapas will be quieter. bully

      According to reports, the first flight tests of the Zircon hypersonic missile from the Severodvinsk nuclear submarine are planned to be carried out approximately in August this year. This will be the next stage in the flight design tests of the latest Russian weapons, which are distinguished by special speed characteristics.
      Wow, times! Eh, moments! But once they sang: "You will be a radio operator ... (and a pilot in your soul!) ... you will fly with a whistle, backwards!" ...

      Moreover, it is added that Britain there is no way to intercept the Russian Federation's hypersonic weapons.
