The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation used the Cyroon rocket in Kiev: the Armed Forces could intercept it - Defense Express

According to military observers, a pump was formed from the fall of the rocket near the transmission line, but it was probably not its goal. Probably, during the shelling of Kiev, on February 7, Russia used the anti -ship "Zircon", but there are signs that it was intercepted by Ukrainian defenders. This is written by military observers of Defense Express. "This is indicated by photos that appeared on the network with reports of its beaten. Putin's prodigies, - reads the material of the publication.

The observers indicated that the fragments were discovered in the Dnieper district - a funnel was formed from the stroke of the rocket near the support of the transmission line (PLP), the rocket damaged underground cables. Given that the zircon, according to the publication, was not targeted at the transmission line, we can assume that the rocket was destroyed.

At the same time, only the winged missiles X-555/101 and the caliber are mentioned in the construction of the Armed Forces Command of the Armed Forces. According to information obtained from the sources of the publication, the fragmentation of the rocket makes it difficult to identify. In addition, little is known about Zircon because it was not publicly demonstrated.

"It should be reminded that even the status of this missile in the Russian Federation is uncertain and it is declared adopted by weapons, then it turns out that there is no relevant order," - the observers say. However, according to Defense Express, the wreckage found today corresponds to the wreckage of another unidentified rocket, which the enemy used earlier and which was also considered a "zircon". Thus, it is possible that this rocket was not used for the first time.

"As for ZM22" Zircon ", in Russia it is called" hypersonic ", although it is likely that it, like the X-47" dagger ", works on solid fuel and simply accelerates to high speed, probably up to 9 sting. Its start is usually estimated at 600 km, sometimes 1000 km, "the observers explained.

It should be reminded that during the attack on Kiev of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, it was probably used by the anti-ship missile of ZM22 "Zircon" also reported monitoring Telegram-channel Monitor, which noted the unusual trajectory of the rocket movement. The observers also emphasized that the rocket did not overcome the sound barrier, although in Russia it was stated that it was a hypersonic rocket.
