Russia’s mysterious Zircon “hypersonic” missile debris is an “advanced” version of the Gov of Russia-Gov of India Joint Venture BrahMos missile. Based on photos available it seems to be hand-made in a shoddy manner.

As reported by “Freedom of Russia” Legion and RDK:
“Zircon missiles were launched at Kyiv. Like last time, the launch was carried out from vertical launch containers from Crimea. Several missiles covered a distance of 580 km to Kyiv in 3 minutes, which allows us to estimate the speed of the missiles as 11,600 km/h, which is hypersonic. All missiles were aimed at the center of Kyiv. The Russians tried to get into the decision-making centers. A three-story building in the Pechersky district was destroyed. 5 victims are known” 12:10 https://t.me/s/svoboda_rosii This doesn’t give very much time for people to take shelter or for the air defense to react.

BrahMos, as in Hindu Brahmin and Moscow, is a joint venture between companies owned by the governments of India and Russia. India and Russia are literally business partners, as well as allies. India is NOT an ally to the western world. As reported over 3 years ago: “Modified Version Of BrahMos Anti-Ship Cruise Missile Successfully Tested; Hits Target With Pinpoint Accuracy” By EurAsian Times Desk November 28, 2020 “The Russian Navy has once again test-fired its latest hypersonic anti-ship missile Zircon, also spelled as Tsirkon which is reported to be the advanced version of BrahMos, from the Northern Fleet’s Admiral Gorshkov frigate in the White Sea, the Russian defense ministry announced… the Zircon is a modified version of the BrahMos supersonic anti-ship cruise missile – a joint Russian-Indian design based on the P-800 Onyx missile… ” https://web.archive.org/web/20230325014628/https://eurasiantimes.com/modified-version-of-brahmos-anti-ship-cruise-missile-successfully-tested-hits-target-with-pinpoint-accuracy/ Note that it is claimed that they were named after rivers, but it’s clear that they are named for Hindu Brahmins and Moscow, or alternatively the Hindu god Brahma. While India has claimed that Russia’s not using their missiles, who believes that? They also claim that the BrahMos costs twice as much as the Russian Onyx which is truly strange: “BrahMos: 25 Years of the Joint Venture” May 23, 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20230529121235/https://idsa.in/issuebrief/BrahMos-amaniktalia-290523

“The enemy struck Kyiv with Zircon missiles: the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on the downing of missiles March 25, 2024, 11:59 By Dmitry Mironenko https://www.dialog.ua The capital of Ukraine was subjected to a morning attack from the Kremlin: at least four victims. The Armed Forces of Ukraine report that two ballistic missiles were shot down in the sky over Kyiv. At the same time, the wreckage of one of the missiles hit a private house on the territory of Osokorkov. Mayor of Kyiv Vitaly Klitschko reported on his page that in the Pechersk district the missile wreckage damaged the building of a three-storey building – a non-residential one. It is known that the speed of the rocket was from 4 to 8 mach, which is about 4-9 thousand km/h. It is known that the enemy launched ballistics from the territory of the occupied Crimea. The weight of one missile is about 4 tons.

It is reported that hypersonic missiles have just been used in Kyiv 3M22 “Zircon” launched from ground launchers in Crimea. Previously, this version of “Zircons” has already been used for purposes in the Ukrainian capital. Due to the flight speed of this missile, the Ukrainian air defense simply does not have time to respond to the threat in a timely manner.

RosSMI already write that the strikes on Kiev were carried out by Zircon missiles. The work of the PVRO began to work in the capital of Ukraine immediately after the air alarm. According to the head of the KGVA Sergey Popko, the wreckage of a rocket was found in the forest belt of the Goloseevsky district of Kyiv.

Earlier we reported that on March 21, the Kremlin attacked Kiev with “Dagger” hypersonic missiles. https://www.dialog.ua/ukraine/292033_1710992983

Recall that on the night of March 22, the [Russian] occupiers attacked the dam of the Dnieper HPP – the engine room. https://www.dialog.ua/ukraine/292097_1711092779

We also wrote that Western military experts told about how the American Patriot system showed its advantages in the war against the Russian Federation. https://www.dialog.ua/war/292216_1711341362

As extensively documented in this blog, Kamala Harris’ uncle served as advisor to Russia’s ally and business partner India’s Ministry of Defense through the IDSA, as recently as mid November 2022: https://web.archive.org/web/20240325193140/https://idsa.in/searchresult/Balachandran%202022 Trump is in deep with India, as well, even participating in a religious ceremony, apparently worshiping Lakshmi the Hindu goddess of prosperity, as well as Ganesh the remover of obstacles. Neither should be in a US government position. Like the upper caste Hindus, Trump thinks that he’s predestined and foreordained to be rich and powerful: https://miningawareness.wordpress.com/2024/03/05/trump-hosts-major-hindu-festival-party-promises-to-accelerate-indias-colonization-of-the-usa-by-prioritizing-green-cards-for-india-and-more-bannons-hindu-occult-kali-yug/ For more information on Kamala’s uncle, G.

As reported by Company Defense Express:
“The Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down two “analogue” “Zircons” with which the Russian Federation hit Kyiv: the wreckage will now say much more, March 25, 2024, 2:35 pm Zircon is the newest and most mysterious missile in the arsenal of the Russian Federation, to which the Kremlin is credited with analog characteristics, but it was again intercepted by Ukrainian anti-aircraft aircraft guns

Today, March 25, the Russian Federation again used its newest missile – ZM22 “Zircon” to strike Kyiv. This is the second publicly known use of this missile after an unsuccessful attempt to attack Kyiv on February 7. Then, most likely, the damaged missile fell on the road in the Desniansky district. https://defence-ua.com/news/chetverta_masovana_raketna_ataka_rf_po_ukrajini_u_2024_rotsi_bulo_vipuscheno_64_raket_ta_droniv-14372.html

But today, the enemy launched “Zircons”, which were shot down directly over Kyiv. This, as it became known to Defense Express from its own sources, is the result of the first analysis of the wreckage of two missiles that were shot down, but fell within the capital.

At the same time, if after the strike on February 7, only very fragmented fragmented fragments remained from the Zircon, the identification of which took five days to officially confirm the use of this missile by the Russian Federation. So now much more informative fragments of “Zircon” have become available https://defence-ua.com/news/knidse_pidtverdiv_scho_rashisti_7_ljutogo_bili_giperzvukovim_tsirkonom-14427.html

Reconstruction of the appearance of “Zircon” from CNIDSE

They will allow for a deeper analysis, give an accurate answer to the type of engine, guidance system, use of materials, etc. In general, this is a fairly significant amount of information that will allow you to assess the real capabilities of Zircon and the level of technology that is currently reachable by the Russian Federation to create its most secretive missile.

Recall that the enemy attacked Zircon from the still occupied Crimea, as evidenced by the official report on the destruction of two ballistic missiles from the Air Force Command.
Currently, the question remains where exactly the launch was carried out – the stationary BKR “Utes”, which is also known as “Object-100” – “Sotka”, or the modernized mobile coastal defense complex “Bastion”https://defence-ua.com/weapon_and_tech/chi_mozhe_rf_vikoristati_po_ukrajini_giperzvukovij_tsirkon_ostannju_nezastosovanu_raketu_j_sprava_ne_u_korabljah-14029.html

Note that after interception, one way or another, the fragments of the missile still fall to the ground. As a result, a gym of a state educational institution in the Pechersk district was damaged, the remains of another rocket fell in the private sector on the left bank. In total, seven people were injured, two were hospitalized.

Recall that so far there has not been a single photo of the ZM22 Zircon missile, only low-quality videos with its launch from the so-called Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Its characteristics are also in question, because the Russian Federation first declared a range of 400 km and a speed of Mach 6, then 600 km, then 1000 km and 9 Mach. The weight of the warhead in various sources is declared at the level of 300 to 500 kg”.
