The Russian Navy has for the first time tested the hypersonic missile "Zirkon" from a nuclear-powered submarine. The launch was carried out from the submarine "Severodvinsk", the Russian Defense Ministry said. With a speed of more than eight Machs, the missile surfaced from the water and flew to its target in the Barents Sea. The test was deemed successful.

The Russian Defense Ministry published a video of the first launch of a hypersonic missile from the Severodvinsk nuclear submarine as part of the tests. The agency stressed that the tests were successful.

Rough estimate, 460 mile range, Mach 8, it's 4 minute 32 second flight time to target impact. Round up to 5 minutes with acceleration time. Five minute response time from 460 mile range. At lower 4.5 Mach speed range is 620 miles.

US carrier group defensive CAP perimeter is 230 miles. Zircon top Mach range is twice that of the carrier group defensive perimeter, with only 5 minutes of total response time.

Aegis Combat System scan is 115 miles, that's the extent of where E-2 loiters with its 400 mile scan range. Max best case scenario scan range is 500 miles.

Anyway you spin this the carrier group has under 5 minutes to react, and it has to have all birds in the air and in position at that given time.

Given that Zircon is detected 5 minutes out, what then? What does US navy even has that can intercept a Mach 8 target? RIM-174 top speed is Mach 3.5, it can't touch maneuvering hypersonic targets.

Today entire US carrier fleet tactics became obsolete.

Strange. In the corner I see double-headed Eastern-roman Empire eagle (wings downward) instead of proper russian double-headed eagle.
