Russia's most dangerous naval vessel is the "Marshal Shaposhnikov" frigate, which is armed with "Zircon" hypersonic cruise missiles. The authors of the news article agree that the usage of a hypersonic cruise missile with a ship is a well-planned improvement of the frigate, Military Watch reports.
Since 2017, the frigate has received extensive upgrades, featuring new sensors, electronics, and armaments. The Zircon missile is widely regarded as the world's most deadly anti-ship cruise missile. While not being developed for anti-ship objectives, the article states that the frigate's Zirkon missiles alone have the potential of countering a group of ground strikes.
