Russia is tinkering with aircraft that can fly at six times the speed of sound – and claims the US can’t keep up.
The latest Russian war jets reportedly zip through the air at an ear-splitting Mach 6.
The Russian president was yesterday branded a “bigger threat than ISIS” by a top US politician.
Likewise, the superpower has vowed to crush North Korea after its leader Kim Jong-un launched another nuke missile test this week.
Now military journalist Vladimir Tuchkov has said: “In Russia, the testing of actual weapons is already underway.
“Specifically, we are talking about the Zircon hypersonic anti-ship missile.”
Russia’s 3M22 Zircon cruise missile has achieved five successful flights so far, according to state media outlet Sputnik.
“Zircon is a ready weapon in the testing phase,” said Mr Tuchkov, “It is expected to be added into Russia’s arsenal between 2018 and 2020.”
But America is lagging behind, it is claimed.
