FIRE AND FURY: Moment Russia’s £300m stealth warship designed to carry hypersonic missiles goes up in flames in humiliation for Putin

THIS is the dramatic moment Russia's £300m stealth warship that was designed to carry hypersonic missiles went up in flames in a humiliating blow for Vladimir Putin.

New footage shows devastating fire damage to the new £307 million warship intended to carry Putin’s lethal Mach-9 hypersonic missiles.

The scale of the blaze, which started on Friday in St Petersburg, has been viewed as a massive set back to the Kremlin’s naval modernisation programme.

Huge flames and thick smoke were seen rising from the corvette Provornyy at Severnaya Verf shipyard where it was being built.

The battleship was almost completely destroyed by the fire - the latest of a spate of mysterious blazes at top secret naval shipbuilding facilities - with the damage running into hundreds of millions of pounds, say reports.

Russia says there were no weapons or crew on board when fire broke out, however, other reports claims three crew were injured, with Military.com claiming two required hospitalisation.

Moscow has launched a criminal probe into the blaze on the Provornyy - designed to carry Russia’s deadly new Zircon - or Tskirkon - hypersonic missile.

The 6,670 mph weapon is seen as “unstoppable” by current Western technology, and will initially be deployed on frigates but Putin said it would “definitely” be used with Project 20385 corvettes like the blitzed Provornyy.

The Gremyashchiy corvette - the first of this new type of corvette - was recently deployed to the Russian Pacific coast where it has been armed with Kalibr missiles.

The Russian government recently gave the go-ahead for full-scale production of Zircon missiles at a top-secret plant at Reutovo, near Moscow.

Damage from the fire has been put at around £225 million.

“One of the main questions of the investigation is why it caught fire, given that a warship should be made of non-combustible materials,” said a source.

In February a fire was extinguished on the Ural nuclear icebreaker at another plant, and in 2020 three workers were injured on the Ivan Papanin ship while under construction for the navy.

Among other naval fires, a blaze on the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov in 2019 caused an estimated £972 million in damages.

Fontanka media outlet said: "The stench from the major fire covered all of the Kirovsky district of the city.

“It was rare case when taxpayers could literally sense their burning billions.

“This is the finale of regular fire emergencies at St Petersburg’s shipyards."

Russia's hypersonic missile programme is prompting fears that a “truly catastrophic and devastating war” could break out as tensions between Washington and Moscow reach "simmering" point.

It comes as the Kremlin ramped up wargames in recent weeks amid claims from officials that they successfully tested its lethal, high-speed Zircon missile.

Isabel Sawkins, a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, told The Sun that the strongman has seen an opportunity to conduct more tests as Washington’s has been “distracted” by the challenges it faces in the Pacific and the Middle East.

She said: “The West, by looking elsewhere, has allowed Putin to do this. We need to make the world particularly Russia and China aware that we’re not just going to roll over.”

Sawkins called on the US to prioritize not only the development of hypersonic missiles but also defense technology as officials try to work out how best to respond to Russia's wargames.

Imagine humans wasting over ₦200Billion on weapons to destroy fellow human lives & property.
Money that would have empowered over 1 million Nigerians with ₦200k each. It is well.

B

Fix a new one ASAP. US is coming

There will be not more war. I see Putin bowing his head in shame.

This I have seen.

Putin's warship or Russia's warship?
Is Putin financing the construction of the warship with his personal fund or is it part of Russia's military budget.
No matter how biased we are towards a person, we should learn to separate a state from an Individual.

Stupid Journalism.

Lol.

Nothing spoil. More would be built. Nothing humiliating about it.

Nonsense western media report, just imagine 'Putin warship carrying Putin hypersonic missiles in flames in humiliation for Putin.'
Russia which is bigger than US is called 'Putin.'

Why didn't they report 'Afghans fall off Biden's planes fleeing from Taleban in Afghanistan?'

Recently, a US Navy Warship was destroyed by fire, the western media never called it Biden's Warship up in flames in major embarrassment to Biden.

I blame the Mods pushing British propaganda for us to consume as news and used for Armageddon sermon by the OP.

ichidodo:
CIA hackers probably got control of the ship's boiler room switch board through a backdoor exploit then set it on overdrive..KaaBooomshakalaka!!

Perhaps the KGB burnt this Biden Warship below

This is an act of war ,the soviet power will respond to this act of aggression in due course

Oh boy, see cash.
