British analyst Alexander Merkouris said that the Russian army has not yet used Zircon missiles to attack strategic targets of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). He drew attention to this on his YouTube channel Danny Haiphong.
According to the expert, Zircon is the most advanced missile of the Russian Federation, which has started mass production.
We don’t know how many of these are in service, but this is a hypersonic missile whose trajectory is impossible to predict. “You can only imagine what would happen if they started this,” Mercouris said.
He believes that devastating attacks on fighters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will continue in the future. According to the analyst, the Russian Armed Forces may start attacking with more advanced weapons.
The Zircon hypersonic missile was adopted by the Russian Federation in January 2023. Its main feature is that it flies at an altitude of up to 40 kilometers and at speeds of up to 11 thousand km per hour, which makes its interception almost impossible.
Before that, Chief of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat statedHe said Russian missile attacks are not tied to symbolic dates, so Kiev cannot predict them.
