Ukraine's military intelligence has published details about Russia's 3M22 Zircon hypersonic missile, revealing that its actual capabilities fall short of those claimed by the Kremlin. The Zircon is described as a two-stage, quasi-ballistic missile with a maximum speed of Mach 6.8, not the Mach 8-9 as previously stated. It carries a 120kg warhead, smaller than Russia's S8000 Banderol cruise missile. The missile uses solid-fuel rocket motors, not a scramjet or liquid-fuel ramjet as Russia had claimed. Ukrainian intelligence also identified 70 companies involved in the Zircon's production, including some using U.S.-origin electronics.
