The largest scam of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: why the "Zircon" rocket is helpless against large ships

The mass of the combat shrapnel-foot fighting part of the rocket reaches 150 kg, which is an order of magnitude less than X-101 or "dagger". Experts say that with such a warhead the rocket is not able to sink even a frigate, not to mention the aircraft carrier. Preliminary analysis of the fragments of the Russian "hypersonic" rocket 3M22 "Zircon" testifies to the scaffold, which was turned on by developers from "tactical rocket launchers" and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

As it turned out, the creators approached the TTH rocket to the demands of the Russian defense department, turning it into helpless weapons. This was reported on March 27 at Defense Express. Such conclusions came on the basis of data from sources that claim that the mass of the fragile-fugural combat part of the "zircon" reaches 150 kg, of which 40 kg is an explosive substance. As for the class of anti -ship missiles, weapons are of low weight.

And if you take into account the rocket range up to 1000 km and equipping with a hypersonic engine, it turns out that it is an unjustifiably expensive version of ballistic missiles, which is inferior to even the winged X-101 and X-555, not to mention the X-47 "dagger" . For example, "dagger" has a fighting part of 500 kg. The warhead of rockets X-101, X-555 and "Kalibr"-about 400 kg, and "Onyx"-300 kg.

Given that the mass of the combat part of the rocket directly affects the type of ship it can be sinking, in the case of "Zircon" it is a matter of a water -tone up to 5000 tons. Thus, the rocket can only threaten corvettes, and ships, higher than the class frigate, and even more so aircraft carriers with a watertone up to 100,000 tons will be "not on the teeth".

Why did Zircon be equipped with a combat part with such a low mass? This is explained by the desire to provide the stated range of the rocket flight, which is up to 1000 km. The weight reduction in the battle part was a simple solution to achieve this goal, even at the expense of reducing the slaughter of the rocket's slaughter. Therefore, Zircon is not only not capable of fulfilling its main tasks, but also became the object of the largest scam in the Russian MIC.

"Against the backdrop of the fact that" Zircon "has failed its main task for which it was created-a breakthrough of anti-missile defense, additional details. Because this development itself was the largest of known scams and falsification in the Russian military-industrial complex",-experts summed up . We will remind, according to the Polish analyst Maximilian Durah, Russian engineers really managed to develop a hypersonic jet engine for rockets.
