“These are the very decision-making centers that Putin spoke about,” Kiselyov said on air.

Recall, February 20 during the message to the Federal Assembly, the President of Russia Vladimir Putin spoke about the characteristics of the Zircon hypersonic naval missile developed in Russia. According to him, its speed will reach Mach nine (more than three kilometers per second at the Earth’s surface), and its flight range will be more than a thousand kilometers. It was these calculations that Kiselev used when calculating possible missile targets in the United States.

“Its use is envisaged from sea carriers of serial surface ships and submarines, including those already produced and those being built for Kalibr precision weapon missile systems,” the Russian President explained then.

He clarified that the missile is capable of hitting both sea and land targets, and the United States does not have defenses against it.

Then the head of the Kremlin stressedthat Russia will be forced to take mirror and asymmetric measures in the event of the deployment of American missiles in Europe.

According to foreign sources, serial production of the Zircon is planned to begin in 2021, and this missile could be put into service in 2022. However, sources in Russia claim that Zircon hypersonic missiles may sooner enter service with the Yasen-M nuclear submarines, promising Husky-class submarines, as well as a number of surface ships, including the Pyotr Velikiy and Pyotr Velikiy missile cruisers.
