Map Shows NATO Targets Within Range of Putin's Hypersonic Missile Warship
The 4,500-tonne warship can carry Kalibr, Oniks and Zircon missiles, and shipping data showed its transponder was switched off, The Telegraph reported.
- Last week, the Russian frigate Admiral Kasatonov was spotted off the German island of Fehmarn in the Baltic Sea, with shipping data indicating the vessel sailed with its location transponder switched off.
- This deployment followed Vladimir Putin's threats to retaliate against British and European vessels seizing Russia-linked ships, declaring such actions "nothing but piracy and robbery."
- Commissioned in 2020, the 4,500-tonne Admiral Kasatonov mounts Zircon hypersonic missiles; its presence coincides with Western efforts to disrupt Russia's "shadow fleet" of over 700 vessels, which UK officials claim generate a war fund.
- The frigate's location near the Danish straits—a chokepoint between the Baltic and North Seas—escalates friction with NATO, while Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, threatened attacks on merchant ships from enemy states.
- US intelligence recently warned that Moscow may be preparing hybrid operations against Poland and the Baltic states, including sabotage of critical infrastructure; the frigate's maneuver follows recent naval activity, including Admiral Levchenko's deployment.
