Ukrainians are wondering about the characteristics of the Russian Zircon

7

On March 25, after another large-scale missile strike by the Russian Armed Forces on the military and energy infrastructure of Ukraine, many Ukrainian publics and media began to speculate about the Russian 3M22 Zircon hypersonic anti-ship missiles. Based on the observed results, they concluded that these munitions are more dangerous than air-launched Kh-47M2 (9-A-7660) Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles.

The Ukrainians report that the Zircon, unlike the Kinzhal, can almost continuously maintain a constant hypersonic speed. At an altitude of several tens of kilometers, the speed of the ammunition reaches 6700 km/h. At the final section of the flight path, it begins a steep linear descent (dive) and briefly accelerates to 9100 km/h. Approaching the ground, the speed of the Zircon drops to 5500 km/h.



Ukrainians are wondering about the characteristics of the Russian Zircon

They state that it is extremely difficult to intercept the Zircon. The ammunition flies to Odessa, Kherson and Nikolaev in less than a minute, to Zaporozhye and Dnieper (Dnepropetrovsk) - less than 2,5 minutes. It flies to Kropyvnytskyi (Kirovograd) in less than 3 minutes, to Kyiv in 3,5 minutes, and to Lviv in just 5,3 minutes. Therefore, air raid signals can often turn on after arrival, and it is simply unrealistic to take a place in the shelter during this time.

    Today, March 25, the Russian army fired missiles at targets in Kyiv; hypersonic Zircons could be used for this. As reported, the enemy’s air defense was “lost” in the first minutes, began to work very late, and Russian missiles covered a distance of 600 km in about 2 minutes.

    The main difference between this missile and other cruise missiles is its very high speed, reaching 9 M. At the same time, the Zircon can hit both sea and ground targets and is used from ships and submarines that carry Calibers. During the sustaining phase of the flight, the rocket travels at an altitude of 30-40 km, where air resistance is minimal, which significantly increases both the range and speed of the rocket. The mass of the Zircon warhead ranges from 300 to 400 kg.

    Zircon can be launched from the same launchers as Onyx anti-ship missiles.

      Although they may have beaten with daggers.

      On March 25, two Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems were hit by a missile attack on the Zhulyany airport in Kyiv. This was reported to TASS by the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation. It is also clarified that the crews of the destroyed air defense systems included NATO members, which, in fact, is logical. Apparently, they went together to Bandera. The Ukrainian “cart” has long written that the Zahisniks are not allowed to manage the Patriots, and, in general, Bandera’s followers serve as orderlies under the Americans or Germans.But it seems that this time our rocket men destroyed another important object. As the Bandera newspaper Kyiv Post writes, citing informants in the special services, on March 25, the target of Russian ballistic missiles was the SBU building. The publication informed large communities about the attack on the department of V. Malyuk, whose hands were up to the elbows in blood. They write that the day before the head of the “hut” gave a long interview in which he admitted to attacks on the Crimean Bridge, warships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, as well as Russian refineries and energy. And here is the answer from “grateful readers.” “As a result of the strike, a three-story building in the city center at the address was completely destroyed. Kikvidze, 32,” reports the Kyiv Post, and footage of the ruins appeared on social networks. All that was left of the house was a pile of broken and charred bricks.

    It's time to start naming the initial data when establishing the names of cities. Aleksandrovsk (Zaporozhye), Ekaterinoslav (Dnepropetrovsk), Elizavetgrad, instead of s - more commonly z (Kirovograd).

        I don’t insist that right now. The return of historical justice. What do you have against the liberation of the Crimean Khanate by Catherine || from the Turkish occupiers and slave traders? The settlement of the wild steppe, the founding of cities thanks to the cessation of raids and devastation. The liberation of the Balkans, the region around the Danube A. Suvorov? For your peace of mind, it’s high time to return Volgograd to its well-deserved name - Stalingrad. The hateful liberde. Tsaritsyn does not sound.
