The Russian navy successfully fired supersonic anti-ship missiles at a mock target in the Sea of Japan using Moskit cruise missiles. Japan’s foreign minister expressed concern and called for vigilance against Russia’s increasing military operations in the region. These missile launches follow the recent flight of two Russian strategic bomber planes over the Sea of Japan, which lasted over seven hours. The P-270 Moskit missile can destroy a ship within a range of up to 120 km, and the firing of these missiles took place amid increasing tensions between Russia and Japan. Despite this, no damage has been reported. The situation remains under control, and Japan condemned Russia’s plans to station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, calling on Russia and Belarus to stop actions that would further increase tensions.
The Russian navy recently fired supersonic anti-ship missiles at a mock target in the Sea of Japan. In a statement posted on its Telegram account, the Russian defence ministry confirmed that the missile ships of the Pacific Fleet used Moskit cruise missiles to hit a target at a distance of approximately 100 km. The P-270 Moskit missile, also known as the SS-N-22 Sunburn, is a medium-range supersonic cruise missile that can destroy a ship within a range of up to 120 km.
The missile launches took place amid increasing tensions between Russia and Japan, with Japan’s foreign minister, Yoshimasa Hayashi, stating that Tokyo will remain vigilant against Moscow’s military operations in the region. This follows the recent flight of two Russian strategic bomber planes over the Sea of Japan, which lasted for over seven hours.
Hayashi also condemned Russia’s plans to station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, calling on Russia and Belarus to stop actions that would further increase tensions. Despite the missile launches, no damage has been reported, and the situation remains under control.
