Baijiahao: Putin's words about the imminent delivery of Zircons to the Russian Armed Forces caused panic in the United States

This is stated in the material of the Chinese edition of Baijiahao, which was translated by PolitRussia.

“Russia showed the sword, and Putin directly laid bare his trump card — the Zircon hypersonic cruise missile,” the authors of the article said.

Experts noted that only Russia has this weapon, and it has no analogues in the world.

At the end of May, a Zircon hypersonic missile was launched from the Barents Sea as part of testing new types of weapons.

The firing was carried out by the lead frigate of project 22530 "Admiral Gorshkov of the Fleet of the Soviet Union".

The sea target was located in the White Sea at a distance of about 1,000 km.

According to the Ministry of Defense, the target was hit.

On July 31, at a parade in St. Petersburg, Putin announced that the first Zircon would be put on the ship Admiral Gorshkov.
