RUSSIA’s hypersonic missile tests are prompting fears that a “truly catastrophic and devastating war” could break out as tensions between Washington and Moscow are "simmering", an expert has warned.
Russian wargames have ramped up in recent weeks as officials claim to have successfully tested its lethal, high-speed Zircon weapon.
The warhead, which has been hailed by Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, can travel at 6670mph and hit a naval target more than 400km away in what was its second test in two weeks.
Zircon is designed to arm Russian cruisers, frigates, and submarines and Putin has boasted that it will “significantly” boost the country's military capability.
In 2018, Putin said the Zircon missile could hit almost any point in the world and evade an America-built defense system.
Isabel Sawkins, a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, told The Sun that the strongman has seen an opportunity to conduct more tests as Washington’s has been “distracted” by the challenges it faces in the Pacific and the Middle East.
She said: “The West, by looking elsewhere, has allowed Putin to do this. We need to make the world particularly Russia and China aware that we’re not just going to roll over.”
Fears of a potential conflict appear to be escalating as tensions between Washington and Moscow appear to be "simmering", according to the expert.

Last week, Moscow accused Washington of secretly staging a mock nuclear attack just 20km from their border.
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu claimed American strategic bombers had carried out around 30 flights close to Russia in this month alone.
He claimed that is two-and-a-half times more than the same period last year.

China, Russia, Iran,etc.,they all are showing USA their hands, their toys, their might! So, if USA is smart, they secretly will be in the process of off-setting, with our toys, ALL known positioning possibilities being shown on the world stage, IMO!
Flanking covertly those flanking other's, does have it's benefits, even examples to be made if necessary. We are dealing with enemies that can bite from fear like a coward dog, be cautious, but prepared. Strength Militarily is an ideal promotion for much peace that does have advantages, but under Biden USA's optic's look awkward, in my opinion.
Hopefully, someone in power at, or in the USA Military Helm has plans to upstage Biden's ineptness for showing weakness, or at best confusion, IMO! Prayers for cooler heads to prevail as small minded men feel empowered by their new weaponry they are compelled to show off! No one is impressed, it's foolishness,stupidly dangerous, and topped with Covid ruse power grabs, the masses are shaking their heads at all the nonsense going on, in my opinion.
Meanwhile, life goes on finding joy in the supernatural realm knowing God is in control!
