It is also a technical discussion in which to see how much each country can contribute to the Eastern Flank to strengthen it.

Moscow has spread its military power with hypersonic rockets and bombers

Russia announced this Sunday that it has launched a hyper-zircon hypersonic cruise missile on a large bargain target and that Suhoi Su-34 supersonic fighter aircraft have performed attacks with Belarus common military exercises, Reuters and Agerpres have previously reported.

Russia's common strategic exercise with Belarus started on September 12, aiming to improve the military order and coordination in the event of an attack on Russia or Belarus, the Ministry of Defense of Moscow said.

Authorities in Moscow and Minsk have said that exercises are exclusively defensive and that they do not intend to attack any NATO member, although the US military alliance has announced the “Eastern Sentry” operation after the recent Ruse drones into Poland.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has published images with the Golovko amiral frigate of the northern fleet while launching a zircon hypersonic rocket on a target in the sea. The images showed a rocket launched vertically on the frigate.

“According to the data monitoring data received in real time, the target was destroyed by a direct blow,” the Ministry of Moscow said.

The ministry said that anti -submarine aircraft with a long range of the mixed aviation body of the northern fleet were also involved in the exercise. The same source mentioned that Su-34 crews practiced a bombing on terrestrial targets.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in 2019 that the Zircon rocket can fly at a speed nine times higher than that of sound and can hit the sea and land at a distance of over 1,000 km (600 miles).

Sources of the Russian media say that the rocket, known as the 3m22 zircon in Russia and SS-N-33 of NATO, has an action range of 400 km to 1,000 km, and its focus mass is about 300-400 kg.
