"The Russian Embassy in the U.S. did not mince words in a tweet late Monday warning Washington not to deploy hypersonic missiles in Europe.

The tweet begins with a red exclamation point and reads: "We would like to remind @PentagonPressSec that potential deployment of any [American flag] hypersonic [missile] in Europe would be extremely destabilizing. Their short flight time would leave [Russian flag] little to no decision time and raise the likelihood of inadvertent conflict."

The tweet comes as the U.S. reportedly turned its attention away from a railgun to hypersonic technology.

John F. Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, held a press conference on Monday and was asked by a reporter about Russia’s claim that it successfully tested a Tsirkon hypersonic cruise missile. Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said the weapon has no equal in the world.

Of course, in a military conflict, the country that can strike first and most decisively has the upper hand. While the U.S. is believed to have the world’s fiercest submarine fleet, Russia’s hypersonic advancement seems to have been noticed, especially since these missiles are apparently being designed to have nuclear capabilities."

If US deploys hypersonic missiles in Europe, Russia will not hesitate to
respond by positioning their Tsirkon hypersonic cruise missiles at borders
aimed at Europe, Ukraine, US by way of land and warships and by way of
submarines in the Arctic seas in northern Russia. The no equal futuristic
hypersonic missile can hit targets at land and sea up from 350 to 1000 km
and a speed of Mach 7 to 9.
