MiG-31 – missile carrier complex “Dagger”
Russia decided to deploy hypersonic missiles in Siberia. To this decision, naturally, drew attention to the PRC. Interested in China.
On the pages of the Chinese edition of the Phoenix, military experts Cheng Hanping and Yuan Zhou are considering possible reasons for placing hypersonic weapons “near the territory of China”. Wording itself “near the territory of China” it looks weird.
The reason for the discussion was information published by the Russian military about, that military units pilots, stationed in Siberia, starting next year, they will begin to master the dagger hypersonic missiles, which will be equipped with combat aircraft.
Chinese experts consider, that hypersonic weapons will appear in Siberia in order, to monitor and ensure Arctic security, Central Asia and Far East. All these regions will be within reach of the missiles..
they believe, that Russia has reasons to closely monitor precisely these areas.
The situation in Central Asia of the Russian Federation should be controlled because of the possible aggravation of the situation in the region after the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan. Such a change in situation could negatively affect not only Afghanistan, but also to the neighboring post-Soviet republics of Central Asia.
In the Far East, Russia has a threat of conflict with Japan, which claims to be the so-called "northern territories". Therefore, this region should also be “under the gun”. This is written by correspondents “Phoenix”.
finally, Arctic. Since Soviet times, Russia considered the North Pole its property. And if before the Arctic did not pay attention, today interest in her has grown significantly. And in Moscow rightly believe, that the “Daggers” stationed in Siberia are capable of protecting the country's interests in this region.
