With a 1500 km range (perhaps even more) and Mach 9 speed, the \u201cZircon\u201d is over 3 times faster and its range is at least double that of the P-800 \u201cOniks\u201d supersonic missiles originally used by the aforementioned platform, further enhancing Russia\u2019s already unprecedented long-range strike capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>This has become even more noticeable in the aftermath of the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack, as the Russian military is now hunting for the organizers, both the Kiev regime\u2019s intelligence services and their NATO overlords.<\/p>\n<p>With such a range (at least 1500 km or possibly even beyond 2000 km), the usage of \u201cZircon\u201d allows Moscow to target any location on the territory of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>However, it should be noted that the Eurasian giant always had this ability.<\/p>\n<p>The difference now is that it can do so much faster and with far less warning time. The usage of air-launched and ground-based hypersonic missile systems such as the 9-A-7660 \u201cKinzhal\u201d and \u201cIskander-M\u201d is still very much relevant, as evidenced by the latest elimination of high-ranking NATO officers (although their deaths will surely be attributed to \u201c<em>sudden<\/em>\u201d skiing accidents).<\/p>\n<p>However, the \u201cIskander-M\u201d can use a massive 700 kg HE warhead that is best used against frontline targets and higher concentrations of troops in the rear.<\/p>\n<p>Virtually the same goes for much faster \u201cKinzhal\u201d missiles. In addition, these can sometimes be detected by NATO ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) assets, particularly airborne and space-based, giving the Neo-Nazi junta officers and their foreign \u201cadvisers\u201d just enough time to run away (albeit not much and certainly not always). The launch of an \u201cIskander\u201d can be detected by early warning systems, while ISR can pick up the MiG-31K\/I deployment. This information can be relayed to the Kiev regime or any NATO personnel on the ground. On the other hand, detecting a scramjet-powered \u201cZircon\u201d can be a lot more problematic.<\/p>\n<p>Then the numbers come into play:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kiev: 3 minutes 30 seconds;<\/li>\n<li>Lvov: 5 minutes 20 seconds;<\/li>\n<li>Dnepropetrovsk: 2 minutes 30 seconds;<\/li>\n<li>Vinnitsa: 3 minutes 40 seconds;<\/li>\n<li>Kharkov: less than 4 minutes;<\/li>\n<li>Odessa: less than 1 minute.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Imagine being an officer of the SBU, GUR (Neo-Nazi junta\u2019s military intelligence) or some of the NATO occupation forces.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re stationed in a building, living in the illusion that you\u2019re safe when the Russian SVR or GRU learns about your location and relays this information to units in Crimea who then fire a \u201cZircon\u201d at that building.<\/p>\n<p>This is how much time you\u2019d have before impact. However, let\u2019s consider the best-case scenario and imagine that NATO ISR assets detect the missile immediately after launch (which is extremely improbable). This is how much time you\u2019d have to evacuate. Is it possible to run away in time? Certainly, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s very likely. On the contrary, the sheer panic resulting from a warning would surely make the evacuation a lot more difficult. The same goes for the \u201cKinzhal\u201d and \u201cIskander\u201d missile launches.<\/p>\n<p>However, the primary reason why the \u201cZircon\u201d is a lot more dangerous for high-value targets (HVTs) in the rear is because it has a much smaller warhead (around 300 kg), meaning that the Russian military is more likely to use it in long-range strikes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-153772 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/r2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/r2.png 1200w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/r2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/r2-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/r2-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Firing an \u201cIskander\u201d or \u201cKinzhal\u201d could cause unacceptable damage to purely civilian infrastructure in the surrounding areas, both due to their larger and more destructive warheads, particularly in the case of \u201cKinzhal\u201d, with the speed also giving it massive kinetic energy.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why these more destructive missile systems are far likelier to be used against purely military targets such as large troop concentrations and important hostile equipment, particularly SAM (surface-to-air missile) systems and MLRS (multiple launch rocket systems) known to use PGMs (precision-guided munitions), etc.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, precisely because of the large-scale deployment of \u201cZircon\u201d missiles, Russia has more options to strike decision-making centers in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>This explains the panic in NATO and the Pentagon, which are now in a dilemma about how to ensure the safety of their occupation forces in Ukraine. Watch closely for news about the \u201c<em>sudden deaths<\/em>\u201d of NATO officers in various \u201c<em>freak accidents<\/em>\u201d in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the Kiev regime insists there\u2019s nothing to worry about, as it can \u201c<em>shoot down anything<\/em>\u201d. Namely, according to their latest claims, they\u2019ve \u201c<em>shot down at least two \u2018Zircon\u2019 missiles<\/em>\u201d. Expectedly, the Neo-Nazi junta insists they\u2019ve achieved this with \u201c<em>US-made missile defense systems over Kyiv, on March 25<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The report never named any system specifically, but it can be assumed that future claims will attribute the supposed \u201ckill\u201d to the atrociously overhyped \u201cPatriot\u201d SAM that has been failing everywhere for the last 30+ years, even against rather primitive ballistic missiles, but is \u201c<em>suddenly so successful<\/em>\u201d against the latest hypersonic ones. In addition, it\u2019s rather interesting how they can \u201cachieve\u201d that, but have been absolutely helpless against over 300 P-800 \u201cOniks\u201d missiles. Not a single one has been shot down, despite being 3-4 times slower and less maneuverable than the \u201cZircon\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Is NATO\u2019s Neo-Nazi Junta\u2019s Cover-up for Terrorist Attacks in Russia So Sloppy? Does NATO Want War with Russia?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The diabolical massacre of over 300 people (nearly half of whom are dead now) at the Crocus City Hall is the worst terrorist attack in Russia in the last 20 years and one of the worst in the world in the last half a decade. And yet, many in the mainstream propaganda machine called it a \u201c<em>shooting<\/em>\u201d, possibly a \u201c<em>mass shooting<\/em>\u201d or simply an \u201c<em>attack<\/em>\u201d and similar terms that show just how little empathy there is for Russian civilians. The terrorist attack in and of itself was horrible enough, but the monstrous glee that was coming from the Neo-Nazi junta and its supporters made things far worse.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, Russian intelligence found disturbing evidence pointing to the political West, particularly the United States, as the true organizer of the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Washington DC insists that it has \u201c<em>undeniable evidence<\/em>\u201d that ISIS is behind it.<\/p>\n<p>Rather interesting how the US could claim this mere hours after the terrorist attack, when not even Russian services who were on the ground had all the details, but it \u201c<em>doesn\u2019t really know<\/em>\u201d who destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines, except that it was a \u201c<em>mysterious deep-diving Ukrainian group<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Even worse, Washington DC is yet to conclude the 9\/11 investigation 23 years after the attacks that were a defining moment of America\u2019s 21st-century history.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s almost as if the political elites are hiding something. But, for some reason, they immediately know who\u2019s behind a terrorist attack 10,000 km away and insist their favorite puppet regime \u201c<em>most certainly had nothing to do with it<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, the US started defending the Neo-Nazi junta before Russia came out with any official statements about its involvement.<\/p>\n<p>And while the troubled Biden administration, including vice president Kamala Harris, is fighting tooth and nail to prove the Kiev regime\u2019s \u201c<em>innocence<\/em>\u201d, the latter\u2019s on the brink of throwing parties to celebrate the brutal massacre of hundreds of unarmed Russian civilians. There are at least two such disturbing cases, one where a Ukrainian restaurant included something called \u201c<em>the Crocus City set\u201d<\/em> in its menu and another where Ukrainian gamers created a map of the Crocus City Hall concert hall in the globally popular <em>Counter Strike FPS<\/em> game, where they can shoot and set fire to virtual hostages or even plant explosives to blow them up.<\/p>\n<p>However, while dealing with such behavior should be left to psychiatrists and clinical psychologists, the reactions of the Neo-Nazi junta\u2019s top-ranking officials clearly demonstrate who\u2019s really behind the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-153775 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/r3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/r3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/r3-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/r3-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/r3-768x429.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Apart from the (now former) Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov, who not only praised the terrorist attack, but also mocked the victims and Russia as a whole and threatened with more such massacres, there\u2019s also the SBU head Vasyl Malyuk who openly boasted about organizing terrorist attacks that killed a number of Russian public figures, including Darya Dugina and Maxim Fomin (aka Vladlen Tatarsky), clearly implying that he\u2019s also involved in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, GUR (Kiev regime\u2019s military intelligence) head Kyrylo Budanov also threatened to go \u201c<em>deeper and deeper<\/em>\u201d with terrorist attacks in Russia. When top-ranking officials of the Neo-Nazi junta\u2019s two most important intelligence services (SBU and GUR) make such statements, it instantly incriminates the entire NATO-backed puppet regime. However, as it\u2019s rather dangerous for Volodymyr Zelensky to fire either Malyuk or Budanov, the Neo-Nazi junta frontman is forced to cover his tracks by dismissing lower-ranking officials such as Danilov. One of Zelensky\u2019s closest associates, Danilov has been extremely hawkish since day one and has openly insisted on launching as many sabotage and terrorist attacks as possible, all coordinated with the US-led NATO.<\/p>\n<p>This brings us to another similar episode that took place in the US when the infamous neocon warmonger Victoria Nuland used the opportunity to threaten Russia on the second anniversary of its special military operation (SMO).<\/p>\n<p>Namely, she said that the so-called \u201c<em>military aid<\/em>\u201d provided by Washington DC to the Kiev regime will ensure that \u201c<em>Putin faces some nasty surprises on the battlefield this year<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Days later, she left the State Department. It seems the Neo-Nazi junta isn\u2019t the only one trying to cover their tracks, although Nuland appears to have been a bit more cunning by leaving before the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack. But Nuland is not the only one. Last year, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, made similar threats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>There should be no Russian who goes to sleep without wondering if they\u2019re going to get their throat slit in the middle of the night<\/em>,\u201d <em>Washington Post<\/em> quoted Milley, who also added: \u201c<em>You gotta get back there, and create a campaign behind the lines<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What occurred with Milley soon after this? You guessed it \u2013 he retired. But terrorist attacks across Russia keep escalating. In the meantime, the political West is further exposing its monstrous hypocrisy by condemning the treatment of the terrorists who committed the Crocus City Hall massacre. American journalist Julia Davis is \u201c<em>worried<\/em>\u201d about their well-being, while the former chief of the CIA\u2019s Russia ops Steve Hall stated that this demonstrates the supposed \u201c<em>difference in values between what is occurring in Russia and what is occurring in the West<\/em>\u201d. Yes, there\u2019s a clear difference, because Russia didn\u2019t run the infamous Abu Ghraib prison where American occupation forces tortured countless Iraqi soldiers and civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Russia also doesn\u2019t run the brutal Guantanamo Bay detention camp where hundreds (if not thousands) have been illegally incarcerated, some of whom have been in solitary confinement for decades without ever being charged with a crime.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, while Russia is punishing terrorists, the US is \u201c<em>worried<\/em>\u201d about these mass murderers who killed and wounded over 300 people. At the same time, the belligerent thalassocracy is torturing and imprisoning people who were fighting a foreign invader, or worse, those who haven\u2019t done anything. In that regard, Mr. Hall is right, there\u2019s a gaping difference between values held in Moscow and Washington DC. All this clearly indicates that the political West and its Neo-Nazi puppets are engaged in a cover-up.<\/p>\n<p>However, the question is \u2013 why is it all so sloppy and too obvious? If analysts and journalists noticed all this so easily, Russian intelligence and state services certainly know far more. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently pointed out this hypocrisy, referring to the offer by so-called \u201c<em>international institutions<\/em>\u201d to supposedly \u201c<em>help<\/em>\u201d with the investigation regarding the latest terrorist attack, but ignored similar Russian requests regarding the Nord Stream sabotage. It should be noted that this terrorist attack was also previously announced by the US, which pledged to ensure that the pipeline becomes \u201c<em>a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea<\/em>\u201d. In other words, the true terrorists aren\u2019t even bothering to hide anymore (and haven\u2019t been for quite some time now).<\/p>\n<p>All this clearly indicates that NATO wants war with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>It recently sent French President Emmanuel Macron to test this with pompous announcements of direct involvement. However, as most of Europe said it won\u2019t take part in this madness, NATO now needs a way to push Russia to attack first. The only way to do so is to provoke a reaction, which is why the world\u2019s most aggressive military cartel organized the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall. In that way, NATO is pushing Russia to retaliate and then present it as the \u201c<em>aggressor<\/em>\u201d, giving the political West a perfect pretext to wage a \u201c<em>defensive war<\/em>\u201d. That\u2019s the only way to ensure the participation of the entire (or at least most of) NATO. However, once the Pandora\u2019s Box is opened, there won\u2019t be going back.<\/p>\n<p><em>Author: Drago Bosnic<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>\nApril 2, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even before the horrendous Crocus City Hall terrorist attack, the Russian military\u2019s long-range strike capabilities were sending shivers down the spines of NATO aggressors and their Neo-Nazi junta puppets.
