Putin challenges America with the elusive Russian missile (Photo)

While North Korea promises the public opinion “andset” at Christmas, Russia precedes them by stating that the earth's version of a new missile generation is being tested, enabling for the first time a Russian military advantage in a technology the forces of the permanent American rival have not yet developed.

It's a 3M22 Zirkon supersonic missile, which with its range of up to 1,000 kilometers and speed to Mach 9, promises to be elusive by any radar of Western countries.

Supersecret tests for this weapon began in 2012, but according to sources in 2016 alone, they have provided positive answers. In February 2019, Putin himself formalised the successful test by air and sea.

But yesterday during a meeting with Russian Army leaders, President Putin announced that there is almost even the ground version of the missile.

Even the United States is working on such technology, but so far there has been no official announcement of significant progress in this.

Zircon at his speed creates a”munt” and, according to his creators, removes it from even the most sophisticated NATO forces radars, while the missile can be commanded at a distance, changing its original direction.
