Iranian press: The latest Russian missiles are capable of destroying entire cities
Russia is launching mass production of a new hypersonic missile, which the Western media has already called "special weapons Putin, "capable of wiping out" entire US cities. "This is the latest missile for the Russian Navy, writes the Iranian newspaper Kayhan.
Tensions between Russia and the collective US-led West have grown significantly in recent years for many reasons, including the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and Ukraine, which claims plans to "invade" the Russian army. Europe is on the verge of a new military conflict, the newspaper writes, and then Russia, as if by the way, announces the launch of a new missile, which was immediately called in the West "Putin's new weapon" intended for a war with the United States. We are talking about the Zircon rocket.
The Iranian newspaper draws attention to the publications of the Western media, in particular the British Daily Mail, where the Russian Zircon was called a missile that "there is nothing to stop" and to which "there is nothing to oppose." Other media outlets called Zircon the answer Putin would give "at the start of a nuclear war" and "capable of wiping American cities off the face of the earth."
In fact, the new multifunctional missile is intended for the ships and submarines of the Russian military fleet, explains the Iranian edition. It will enter service next year, its main purpose is to defeat sea and ground targets at a distance of more than 1000 km. Initially, surface ships will be armed with this missile, then submarines. Currently, missile testing continues, despite several successful launches both from water and from under water.
It is not yet clear what the American military can oppose to the Russian development, the newspaper writes. The latest tests of hypersonic missiles in the United States ended in failure, which was officially reported. So at the moment the United States does not have the means for a military response from Russia to the creation of a missile capable of wiping out "entire cities" from the face of the Earth, it sums up.
