<\/p>\nEl nuevo Misil Hipers\u00f3nico anti-buques Ruso, ZIRCON, ha alcanzado velocidades de hasta MACH 8 ( 6100 mph) durante los ensayos realizados en abril de 2017. El Misil es lanzado desde una plataforma Universal 3c14 \u201cAGAT\u201d, que tambi\u00e9n es empleada para los misiles SS-26 y SS-27. Se espera que \u00e9ste sof\u00edsticado misil, sea instalado en los modernos Cruceros nucleares de ese pa\u00eds.\u00a0 Con el nuevo tipo de combustible desarrollado, se obtendr\u00eda un alcance de unos 400km, a velocidades de entre 5-6 Mach. Las tres grandes Potencias, EUA, Rusia y China, llevan adelante sus respectivos proyectos de Misil Hipers\u00f3nico, los que constituyen un verdadero desaf\u00edo tecnol\u00f3gico, ya que la gran velocidad de estas armas dificulta su detecci\u00f3n temprana, dando lugar a serias vulnerabilidades para los actuales sistemas de defensa a\u00e9rea y misil\u00edstica de las fuerzas navales.<\/p>\n

The source noted that Zircon missiles can be launched from universal launching platforms 3C14 which are also used for the Onyx and Caliber missiles.<\/p>\n
It is expected that the new missiles will be installed at the heave nuclear-powered cruisers Peter the Great and Admiral Nakhimov.<\/p>\n
The expected range with a new type of fuel is about 1000 km (600 miles) at Mach 5-6. The export version will be limited to 400 kilometers range. Launching platform is the 3S14 Agat, also used to launch the SS-N-26 Strobile and SS-N-27 \u00abSizzler\u00bb missiles.<\/p>\n
The WU-14 was the Pentagon\u2019s code name for a Chinese experimental hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), which is now called the DF-ZF.<\/p>\n
The DF-ZF is a hypersonic missile delivery vehicle that has been flight-tested by the Chinese seven times, on 9 January, 7 August and 2 December 2014; 7 June and 27 November 2015; and again in April 2016.<\/p>\n
The DF-ZF HGV can reach speeds between Mach 5 and Mach 10 (i.e., between 6,173 km\/hour (3,836 mph) and 12,359 km\/hour (7,680 mph).<\/p>\n
The USA has had several hypersonic missile and vehicle tests. The main US systems were the X-51 and the HTV-2.<\/p>\n
