EKO HOT BLOG reports that Russian President, Vladimir Putin has ordered dozens of terrifying hypersonic Zircon nuclear-capable missiles that can travel at eye-watering speeds of 6,700mph, it has been claimed.

The Mach 9 weapon, known as ‘Tsirkon’ in Russia, could reportedly come into service before the end of this year.

Putin is continuing to spend huge sums on the development of new nuclear-capable missiles, which he claims are “unstoppable” by Western air defences.

The new order of the Zircon nuclear-capable missiles has not been officially announced, but reports of it were carried by the Russian state news agency TASS.

A source close to the Russian Defence Ministry said: “The first contract for the production of a batch of Tsirkons was signed in the summer of 2021. An additional contract was signed this autumn.”

The insider added the most recent contract will see the delivery of “several dozen” Zircon 6,670mph missiles in 2023.

The missile, which has been seen fired from the Admiral Gorshkov warship, has been the subject of several rigorous tests.

Earlier this year, a missile fired from the vessel in the Barents Sea hit a target more than 600 miles away in the White Sea.

The Russian President has boasted “our newest [Zircon] missiles fired from the sea at sea targets, and land targets”.

He added: “The tests were carried out successfully, flawlessly. This is a big event for our country, a significant step in improving Russia’s security, in increasing (our) defence capability.”

Putin had also said it was in “serial production”, calling the weapon “truly unparalleled … in the world”.

The TV Zvezda channel, which is owned by the Russian Defence Ministry, boasted: ‘The speed of the Zircon hypersonic missile is so high that it prevents the opponent’s air defence system from detecting its impact in time. In fact, its launch will be known only after the target has been hit.”

Previously, the captain of the Admiral Gorshkov frigate Igor Krokhmal had said: “No one will see the missile launch or its flight. They will only see when the missile hits the target.

“A surface target, a coastal target. I don’t think there will be anything to counter this in the next few years”.

The launch of terrifying new and destructive missiles comes as Putin comes under massive pressure over Russia’s continued humiliating collapse during the Ukraine war.

Russian troops have suffered numerous devastating losses on the battlefield and have been pushed back out of key regions by heroic Ukrainian counter-offensive operations.
