A Reminder ...

 ... from Russia's VKS. 

MiG-31 aircraft with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles "Dagger" carried out a planned flight in the airspace over the neutral waters of the Sea of Japan. 

Keep in mind that hypersonic Kinzhal has a range of 2,500 kilometers. What it means on the map. 

These are forbidden waters and no navy can go in there without being sunk. Also a reminder that it is not just MiG-31K who carry Kinzhals, Su-34s can do it too now. And I am not even talking about Russian Navy's Zircon carriers. 

And It Flies.

Frigate Admiral Gorshkov successfully launched hyper-sonic 3M22 Zircon missile from Barents Sea at the target at North Ural range. The missile flew over 500 kilometers (in Russian from TASS). I wrote so much about it that no matter what I write now--it all will be redundant. As was already stated, this year Zircon also will be launched from Kazan SSGN.

I know there will be now very many incidents of a severe butt-hurt but we all have been warned in 2018 and in related news:

ДУШАНБЕ, 27 февраля. /ТАСС/. Авиаполк, дислоцированный в Канске Красноярского края, будет перевооружен на гиперзвуковые крылатые ракеты "Кинжал" до 2024 года. Об этом сообщил журналистам командующий войсками Центрального военного округа генерал-полковник Александр Лапин.

Translation: Krasnoyarsk (Kansk) air regiment will be fully equipped by Kinzhal hyper-sonic missiles by 2024. 

As you may have guessed already, those Kansk's MiG-31Ks (currently there are MiG-31BMs serving there) with Kinzhals could easily be deployed to forward Russia's Pacific Coast airfields (there is only 2,000 miles, as crow flies, between Krasnoyarsk and Vladivostok) and you know what that means. As I already stated many times--naval warfare as we know it is over. It was for some time already, but this time it is official.
