The Zircon hypersonic missile has alarmed Western analysts

The Zircon hypersonic cruise missile has attracted increased attention from Western experts. This was announced on January 22 by military analyst Drago Bosnik in an article for InfoBRICS.

"The enemy forces have only a few seconds to react, which actually means that the approaching Zircon is a death sentence," Bosnik notes.

The expert also stressed that the missile's capabilities are alarming in the West.
