The Royal Navy comments on the Russian frigate Admiral Gorshkov which carries nuclear-capable hypersonic missiles as part of its formidable armament sailing to the UK.

Russia Deploys Frigate Admiral Gorshkov 

As it sails via the Norwegian Sea towards the British Isles with "invincible" hypersonic Zircon missiles, one of Vladimir Putin's warships participates in military exercises.

Six days in, Russian state television showed Admiral Gorshkov "deterring a simulated adversary military strike," to traumatize the West, reported the Express UK.

The warship is equipped with a Zircon missile, one of the premiere deadly weapons in the arsenal of the Kremlin. Compared to other western missiles, which travel slower than 7000 mph, it gives NATO forces nightmares, especially the US, which has no Mach 5+ weapon at its disposal.

First tested in 2020 and then in 2022, the Russians showed a successful test in which it traveled 600 miles away at super-fast velocities, noted Knews Media.

The warship carrying the missile had released a video showing the vessel participating in the military exercises. But no launch has been part of the sea-borne exercises.

Russian warships traveling through the Norwegian Sea are prevalent. However, this training exercise is worth mentioning due to the power of the armaments on board.

Norway's Armed Forces have emphasized that the boat is legitimately inside open waters, yet they actively watch any movement patterns.

On January 4, Vladimir Putin replied to the ship leaving the Severomorsk port by simply stating that it was a historical moment, if not a landmark, since the frigate Admiral Gorshkov was going on a long-distance naval expedition.

According to India Narrative, none is strange, and all is standard procedure. However, the warship is kitted with a state-of-the-art Zircon hypersonic missile system which has no equal, citing India Narrative.

These weapons are powerful enough to protect Russian from external threats. Drills are used to assess the air defense circuit, air and electronic lighting systems, anti-aircraft fire systems, strategic cloak electronic warfare systems, and air defense circuit control mechanisms. Based on the video comments that say the task was done, the frigate is prepared to repel air assault from any direction it is coming from.

Nuclear-Capable Hypersonic Missiles Sails Onboard Russian Frigate 

Commodore Trond Gimmingsrud, Chief of the Norwegian Navy, said that the Russians could do whatever they wanted in international waters. Their maritime assets include a complete overview of what is going on. These Norwegian commanders called Russian actions in the nearby sea and have been proficient, even though Russian boats shadowed Norwegian-British patrols in the Barents Sea the year before.

Even before the release of the latest footage, Russian media mentioned that assessments would be undertaken but did not disclose when. The objective is to take the vessel past the coast of the United Kingdom as a "show of strength" in the Ukrainian conflict.

On Wednesday, Putin called the Zircon Mach 5+ missile that the US does not have. At one point, the weapon is an ace over the West's "decision-making centers."

US DoD will monitor the ship as it is underway; the US had nothing to counter it. Royal Navy will monitor the progress of the Russian Frigate Admiral Gorshkov, which has a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile.
