New Delhi: More than three months have passed since the war between Russia and Ukraine. Both the countries are making their own claims regarding the war. Russia on Saturday successfully test-fired the deadly hypersonic missile Zircon amid the war with Ukraine. This information was given by the news agency Reuters. The agency, citing communications from the Russian Defense Ministry, said the hypersonic missile was fired from Barents and hit a target in the White Sea with precision.
According to the agency, the total distance of the target targeted for Zircon’s target was 1×016 km. In earlier tests, Russia has also claimed to have shot down an underwater submarine with a Zircon missile. Russia has termed the Zircon missile as a weapon of the modern system.
Many cities of Ukraine turned into ruins
More than three months have passed since Russia’s attack on Ukraine, but Putin still appears to be tough on action against Ukraine. Ukraine has suffered heavy losses in Russia’s attack. His trade route has been completely destroyed. Many big cities have completely turned into ruins while more than 4000 people are expected to be killed so far.
In March, Russia attacked most of the cities of Ukraine, but now the fighting has been reduced to only two cities. Svyarodonetsk and Lysychansk – Luhansk are two such cities of Ukraine where the armies of both countries are face to face and both these countries are constantly being bombed. Seeing the increasing threat of Russian missiles, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba has urged the West to provide heavy weapons to Kyiv.
Let us tell you that earlier last month, Russia had claimed that it had fired the Kinjal hypersonic missile twice on Ukraine. Kinjal missiles were recently added to Russia’s weapons fleet and Russia also used them on Ukraine. The range of Kinjal missiles ranges from 1500 km to 2000 km. This missile included in the Russian fleet is a very destructive weapon.
Russia has been testing missiles rapidly for some time. Prior to the Zircon, last month Russia also tested the Sarmat, an intercontinental missile capable of carrying nuclear weapons. Russia’s Sarmat missile is capable of carrying 10 warheads to the United States.
