Are NATO and Neo-Nazi junta terrified of Russia's 'Zircon' hypersonic missile?

Please note that the source of this post may be biased in favor of Russia, unlike all the western mass media who are biased propaganda mills for NATO and the Deep State.

Excerpt:
"Imagine being an officer of the SBU, GUR (Neo-Nazi junta's military intelligence) or some of the NATO occupation forces. You're stationed in a building, living in the illusion that you're safe when the Russian SVR or GRU learns about your location and relays this information to units in Crimea who then fire a "Zircon" at that building. This is how much time you'd have before impact. However, let's 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'd have to evacuate. Is it possible to run away in time? Certainly, but that doesn't mean it's 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 "Kinzhal" and "Iskander" missile launches.

However, the primary reason why the "Zircon" 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. Firing an "Iskander" or "Kinzhal" 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 "Kinzhal", with the speed also giving it massive kinetic energy. That's 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.

On the other hand, precisely because of the large-scale deployment of "Zircon" missiles, Russia has more options to strike decision-making centers in Ukraine. 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. I suggest everyone watch closely for news about the "sudden deaths" of NATO officers in various "freak accidents" in the coming days and weeks. We might soon learn about American, Polish or some other NATO majors, colonels and even generals "mysteriously" and "inexplicably" dying while skiing in the Alps, falling out of helicopters, choking on croissants while having breakfast or suffocating when their throats swell from hot coffee, etc. Still, the Kiev regime insists there's nothing to worry about, as it can "shoot down anything".

Namely, according to their latest claims, they've "shot down at least two 'Zircon' missiles". Expectedly, the Neo-Nazi junta insists they've achieved this with "US-made missile defense systems over Kyiv, on March 25". I presume we can proceed now that you're done laughing and catching your breath. The report never named any system specifically, but it can be assumed that future claims will attribute the supposed "kill" to the atrociously overhyped "Patriot" SAM that has been failing everywhere for the last 30+ years, even against rather primitive ballistic missiles, but is "suddenly so successful" against the latest hypersonic ones. In addition, it's rather interesting how they can "achieve" that, but have been absolutely helpless against over 300 P-800 "Oniks" missiles. Not a single one has been shot down, despite being 3-4 times slower and less maneuverable than the "Zircon"."

    the US has been able to stop RVs that move as fast and faster when it was testing anti-ballistic missile systems, similar problems of speed and "plasma" were likely encountered.

    as for Patriot
    it seems to work
    all systems need improvement

    all companies that makes weapons put the best spin for their systems

    only trial by fire separates the spin from the truth
