Russian Warship With Hypersonic Missiles Conducts Drills in English Channel
A Russian warship equipped with hypersonic cruise missiles conducted drills as it passed through the English Channel on Tuesday.
As the ship sailed between the United Kingdom and France—two of nato’s most significant members—it conducted military drills such as rescue operations, antisubmarine defense drills and antiaircraft responses.
The main goals of the long-distance deployment are to demonstrate the Russian flag and ensure Russian naval presence in operationally important areas of the ocean.

The ship is equipped with Zircon missiles, which have a range of 560 miles and can travel at several times the speed of sound. The Zircon is the centerpiece of Russia’s hypersonic arsenal.
Provoking NATO: The move comes just weeks after another Russian vessel sailed around nato member Norway’s coasts for days. And it comes a month after Russia test-fired missiles to simulate a nuclear strike against the West.
European superpower: The threat from Russia, especially since invading Ukraine, is accelerating the unification and militarization of Europe, as is prophesied in your Bible.
