But Turkey has closed the Bosporus to warships, he explained. Kalibr missiles have been widely used in Russia’s war in Ukraine. Earlier this year Russian warship armed with hypersonic missiles was seen simulating a massive strike as it sailed to the US coast. The guided missile frigate Admiral Gorshkov has been closely monitored by NATO navies on its maiden voyage armed with 6,670mph Zircon weapons.
