The Royal Navy is keeping an eye on a Russian warship loaded with 7,000mph hypersonic missiles as it sails through UK waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Royal Navy, HMS Portland, a Type 23 frigate, is keeping an eye on the Russian guided missile frigate Admiral Gorshkov and the tanker Kama as they sail in international waters near the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admiral Gorshkov weighs 5,400 tonnes and measures 442 feet long. He is currently armed with Vladimir Putin’s “super weapon” zircon missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The missiles have a range of 625 miles and are considered one of the world’s most lethal weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Escorting warships in UK territorial waters and adjacent sea areas is routine activity for the Royal Navy,” said HMS Portland’s commanding officer, Commander Ed Moss-Ward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“By maintaining a visible and persistent presence, the Royal Navy ensures compliance with maritime law and deters malign activity to protect our nation’s interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Along with forces from our NATO allies, we escorted the Russian task group, demonstrating the UK’s commitment to the alliance and to maintaining maritime security.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Russian ships moved south through the Norwegian Sea, HMS Portland joined the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel Bergen, according to the Royal Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marking the start of its journey, Vladimir Putin hailed the ship\u2019s power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Russian President said: \u201cThe frigate Admiral Gorshkov is embarking on a long sea voyage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is tracking and reporting on the movements of the Russian ships through the North Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is nothing unusual here: it is commonplace, but this time the ship is equipped with the latest hypersonic rocket system Zircon, which has no match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is a hypersonic sea-based system – [and the vessel has other] latest-generation weapons\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs I said, it has no equivalent in any country in the world.”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
