A Russian warship armed with ‘unstoppable’ Mach 9 nuclear-capable hypersonic missiles has deviated from it's course and is sailing towards the US coast in a ‘show of strength’, reports say.
The frigate – named Gorshkov – has been closely monitored by NATO boats on its maiden voyage.
They have found the vessel is armed with 6,670mph Zircon missiles, which have a range of 625 miles.
Radar monitoring sites suggest the Gorshkov, which has been recently tailed by the Portuguese navy, made an unexpected diversion in the Atlantic.
An unconfirmed Russian Telegram channel report says it was ‘spotted on radar in neutral waters of the Atlantic Ocean – at an effective salvo launch distance from the US coast’.
The frigate’s captain Igor Krokhmal has previously said: "No one will see the missile launch or its flight. They will only see when the missile hits the target. A surface target, a coastal target. I don’t think there will be anything to counter this in the next few years." READ MORE
