The blow to Kiev was a check: what made the Russian Federation get "zircon" - the Armed Forces officer (video)

The head of the Land Forces Reserve Council Ivan Tymochko warned that the threat of new strikes of the city, which potentially do not protect the Patriot complexes. According to him, Zircon missiles are expensive, but already accumulated in the Crimea. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are looking for new methods of rocket attacks. It is not excluded that the following shelling will be combined - with the use of hypersonic missiles "Zircon".

On March 28, the Chairman of the Council of Reservists of the Land Forces of Ukraine Ivan Timochko told this on the air of the telephone on March 28. He reported that Russia has been developing Circon missiles since 2011. They were adopted by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in 2022. Last year, the enemy had already attacked them - Odessa and Nikolaev.

"They were not so much a task to destroy this rocket as it was the question of whether it could bypass the air defense system in Kiev, as far as it was able to move and deceive radars quickly and, and apparently, there was a calculation on the effect of surprise," Tymochko explained. According to him, the occupiers try to use everything that is in service. "Zircon" is "very expensive" as "dagger". According to various estimates, the cost of one rocket reaches $ 10-29 million.

In addition, "not cheap" are launchers and preparation of units responsible for service and launching of weapons. The military suggested that the Russian Federation is now looking for new ways and mechanisms for the task of strikes in Ukraine. The enemy could "inspire" the effective work of the air defense, Iskander, and the types of H. He recalled that Russia also lost a considerable number of ships that were transported by "calibers".

Zircon missiles at the same time are probably already accumulated in the Crimea. "It is necessary to expect such blows to other cities and areas. Of course it is needed. Since this rocket is very fast, they will try to attack those cities where Patriot may potentially be. In order to harm and demonstrate power," the military added.
