“It is important to note that Russia's new hypersonic systems are a potentially destabilizing factor and pose a significant threat because these systems are compatible with nuclear ones,” Kirby said at a briefing, broadcast by C-SPAN.

According to him, the United States is developing hypersonic strike systems only in non-nuclear equipment.

Earlier, the frigate "Admiral Gorshkov" from the White Sea successfully fired a hypersonic missile "Zircon" at a ground target on the coast of the Barents Sea.
