Putin’s hypersonic missile ‘capable of wiping out US city’ ready to launch ‘by end of summer’
RUSSIA is poised to launch its new “unstoppable” Zicron hypersonic misses “by the end of the summer,” according to informed sources.
The weapon, which can fly at up to 6,100mph, is said to be a “capable of wiping out a US city” and is expected to go into service next year.
It is claimed that Vladimir Putin sees the lethal Mach 8 Zircon as his preferred choice to target American cities in the event of a nuclear conflict.
According to a source at Sputnik: "Tests of the missile system with the Zircon hypersonic missile for surface ships are planned to be completed by the end of the summer.”
“The tests will be conducted from the Admiral Gorshkov frigate.
“Several firings at both sea and ground targets are planned.”
They added that the Gorshkov war-ship has been moved to a secret White Sea naval port Severodvinsk ahead of the final tests.
Videos show Zircon tests have been made from the ship in the past year which the Russians say have been successful.
The Sun previously reported that trials have been underway for the missiles for some time, with a “total of four launches” in March.
According to sources, all the missiles in the most recent trials “hit the bullseye."
The success has previously led Putin to claim that the West was seeking to steal secrets relating to Zircon and other state-of-the-art Russian weapons.
