The United States saw a threat to its carrier strike groups because of the latest Russian cruise missile.

The latest Russian cruise missile Zircon, developed but not yet adopted, capable of hitting a sea or ground target at a speed of 10 thousand km / h, turned out to be a weapon capable of destroying an entire aircraft carrier strike group. The reason for this is the extraordinary power of the missile, which allows it to strike at the nuclear reactor of an aircraft carrier and cause an explosion that can destroy the ships that are part of the AUG. According to the American side, abandoning nuclear aircraft carriers is the only way to get rid of such risks.

“The reason for abandoning nuclear-powered aircraft-carrying cruisers is their high cost, as well as their vulnerability to new Russian weapons. At present, there is no exact information on how the new aircraft carriers will look, but it is assumed that they will begin to be created on the basis of large amphibious assault ships of the "America" ​​class ", - about it сообщает Russian information publication "New Inform".

Today, the Russian Zircon hypersonic missile can deal with the aircraft carriers, however, in the event of damage to the nuclear reactor, the consequences for the aircraft carrier strike group can be very tragic.
