SA is about to be in the middle of a Russian propaganda coup around an 'unstoppable' weapon | Business Insider

Russian state media is floating the prospect that Russia will test-fire a hypersonic Zircon missile during Exercise Mosi II.

That is the joint exercise with China and Russia that SA is due to host this month, off KwaZulu-Natal. The Zircon could be effectively unstoppable, and Vladimir Putin has used it as an example of Russian might. It has never been observed in action up close by other nations, so China and South Africa will act as guarantors of sorts that it performs as advertised.

Like all its major characteristics, just how far and fast a Zircon can fly is not clear, just as it is not entirely certain that Russia was the first nation to use a hypersonic missile in anger last year, in its Ukraine war – because it has never been independently observed in action. Until now, the only evidence of its use has beenNow China and South Africa may be given the chance to see it up close, in full view of South African tracking apparatus and data-gathering machiner.

That will be great for our alliance, we as South Africans will never forget the Russian contribution to our liberation struggle from the racist west....🇿🇦🇷🇺

Beautiful, they must also share the technology. Russia has never colonized any African country unlike Nato warmongers

Why should SA's relation with its BRICS members be labelled as war propaganda against Ukraine? The Desmond Tutu foundation must not bore us with their U.S/EU propaganda

That's the one aka Satan

Test fire it to where? & what's the range this hypersonic Zircon missile capable of? Let me be naive and say Gauteng will be buried by one of this... 😂🤣.. I feel encouraged to drive down to Richards Bay and be closer to action. It is free and surely a day of learning.

A colossal disgrace.

BISouthAfrica Here SA will be like a Ball Boy used to pick up balls off field when real players are in the game.

BISouthAfrica SA and Africa will forever stand with Russia and China and never human rights rapists like the US and the West. Africa will never forget their roles till forever.

BISouthAfrica SA must get the new Russian S550 'satellite killer' & a few items like the ATGM💪🏾

BISouthAfrica Absolutely disgusting that the MYANC is taking part in this & helping Russia hone its killing skills in Ukraine . No integrity at all, no surprise our country is in a state of disaster & internationally countries are seeing that too. UkraineWar 💙💛
