A British reconnaissance plane that monitors Russian war games in the Arctic and Moscow confirmed it has now completed initial tests of Vladimir Putin’s deadly new missile.
Reports say the 6,100 mph Zircon hypersonic weapon has now been fired a total of four times from the Admiral Gorshkov frigate and will go into service next year.
Putin sees the Mach 8 Zircon as his missile of choice to target American cities in the event of a nuclear conflict, it is claimed.
A British RC-135W reconnaissance aircraft was circling the skies where the Gorskhov this week sailed off the Kola Peninsula, reported the Barents Observer.
