Moscow-Sana

Chairman of the Defense Committee of the Russian State Duma Andrei Kartapolov considered that in the presence of hypersonic missiles Tsirkon there is no need for Russian bases abroad, especially in Latin America.

“In the presence of modern weapons such as hypersonic, there is no longer a need to deploy Russian military bases in Cuba and Venezuela,” Kartapolov said during a television program today, explaining that at one conditional point in the Atlantic Ocean, a ship armed with Tsircon missiles would be fully capable of carrying out any missions and leave. Immediately it can be a floating ship or a submarine.

On the 24th of last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a successful test-launch of the Tsirkon hypersonic anti-ship missiles.

The Tsirkon is the first Russian hypersonic winged missile capable of performing a long-range aerodynamic flight while maneuvering in the dense layers of the atmosphere using the thrust of its own engine along the flight distance, with a maximum speed of Mach 9, 9 times the speed of sound, and a maximum range of about 1,000 km It is capable of hitting targets on the surface of the water and on land with the same effectiveness.
