The US called "Dagger" the "killer" of US aircraft carriers
As part of his annual address to the Federal Assembly, President of Russia Vladimir Putin introduced the latest Russian weapons on March 1, 2018. Among the presented weapons was a high-precision aviation missile system "Dagger". As Vladimir Putin said, a hypersonic missile can develop a speed of 10 Machs (about 10 sound velocities) and overcome all existing air defense and missile defense systems.
According to the presented data, this is a modernized version of the quasi-ballistic single-stage steerable 9M723 missile of the Iskander complex, which is transported by a supersonic all-weather fighter interceptor of long-range MiG-31. It is noted that missile has good maneuverability and ability to change the flight path as quickly as possible, which greatly complicates its interception.
According to Yuri Borisov, Deputy Defense Minister of the Russian Federation, to date, ten MiG-31 interceptor fighters with hypersonic missiles "Dagger" have already started to pilot-combat duty to overcome anti-missile defenses and are ready for use depending on the situation. The carrier of the hypersonic missile "Dagger" MiG-31 fighter is the most suitable for dispatching this missile to the required speeds at the right altitudes.
In addition, the combat radius of the fighter allows the Russian military aircraft to keep US aircraft carriers at sight at a distance of 3,500 km from the sea borders. Consequently, with the appearance of MiG-31 fighters with the latest hypersonic missiles in the Far East, Russia will be able to "close" most of the South China Sea, where the interests of Washington and Beijing are affected.
As noted by US military analysts, the new Russian missile system can be considered the main "killer of aircraft carriers" in the Pacific region. The "dagger" can destroy even the largest enemy ship from a distance of up to two thousand kilometers with one blow. The deployment of hypersonic missiles "Dagger" caused panic among the military circles of the West: no existing anti-missile system can resist new Russian weapons. The Pentagon admitted that it is impossible to intercept a Russian missile: US systems can not cope with weapons that develop speed more than three Machs, "Daggers" are known to be capable of developing speed, almost 7 times greater.
Thus, in March 2018, the Russian president demonstrated in the prepared video clip the possibilities of domestic military development, today they are already in the arsenal of the Russian army and the whole world was able to make sure that Russia has a powerful modern superweapon and admit that there is no such weapon in the world.
