Map shows NATO targets within range of Putin's hypersonic missile warship

A map reported by Newsweek indicates that the Zircon (3M22) hypersonic missiles carried on Russia’s frigate Admiral Kasatonov have ranges that could place NATO members within reach. The Daily Telegraph, citing shipping data, said the vessel sailed off the island of Fehmarn, a popular tourist destination, after Vladimir Putin’s warnings about retaliating against British and EU ships. The report also said the ship may have had its location tracker turned off. German outlet Kieler Nachrichten said the Admiral Kasatonov was deployed to the Baltic Sea days after the destroyer Admiral Levchenko arrived. The warship was built in 2020 and is part of Russia’s Northern Fleet; its placement highlights heightened tensions with NATO as U.S. intelligence warns of possible attacks.
