NASA satellites have detected a mysterious blue-green glow off Australia’s southern coast. The radiant glimmer in the ocean stumped the world at first, but it is only a phytoplankton bloom in the Great Australian Bight and Tasman Sea. What has astonished everyone is that this bioluminescent spectacle is so strong that it can be seen from space. Phytoplankton are marine organisms that are vital for the ocean ecosystems. The observation was first made by NASA’s PACE spacecraft, which saw the glow between mainland Australia and Tasmania. Scientists used the advanced Ocean Color Instrument to document the turquoise glow in the ocean, Sustainability Times reported. But this was not the only time it was seen from space. The Suomi NPP previously noted the bioluminescence in 2023, followed by the Aqua satellites in 2024.

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (Aug 26) told his advisers that he wanted to move quickly to announce a nominee to replace Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, according to a Wall Street Journal report citing people in the know. Trump also provided reporters proof of his impatience in replacing Cook as he told them at the White House, "We have some very good people for that position".

It might surprise you: Generation Z, often portrayed as digital natives who would rather work from a beach, is going back to the office — because they want to. In case you didn't notice, Gen Z workers — especially influencers and those in the early stages of their careers — are often lonelier when working remotely. They are actively seeking in-person environments to access more social support, mentorship, and personal development. This is a surprising twist in workplace trends: a growing number of Gen Z workers are opting for cubicles over cosy bedrooms. They are seeking work from office or hybrid options after five years of remote work, largely triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and enabled by technology.<h2>Loneliness is a great motivator for Gen Z</h2>Loneliness at home is fuelling the desire for office life, say multiple recent studies. A recent Bupa survey of 8,000 UK adults found that four in 10 Gen Z workers feel lonely or socially isolated when working from home — significantly more than any other generation.<h2>Influencers are loneliest: surprising insight from recent surveys of Gen Z</h2>A striking finding from the same Bupa study was that nearly half of the influencers it surveyed reported feeling lonely, and about one in three plan to return to full-time traditional jobs within the next five years. Many remote content creators and digital freelancers — who one might assume enjoy the most freedom — are reportedly the loneliest of all.“I specifically applied for roles with a physical office where I have supportive colleagues, can socialise at lunchtimes and meet friends in the evenings,” said one Gen Z worker, quoted in The Guardian.According to the Bupa study, 45 per cent of young adults are actively looking for roles that offer more social interaction, compared to 27 per cent across all age groups.<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/gen-z-facing-severe-job-crisis-gravitas-1755715423790/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/gen-z-facing-severe-job-crisis-gravitas-1755715423790/embed</a><h2>The osmosis Gen Z is missing: even observing colleagues matters</h2>Recent reports have highlighted how informal interactions — observing colleagues, spontaneous conversations, or after-work socialising — play a crucial role in career development.

California Governor Gavin Newsom on Tuesday (Aug 26) implied in a post on X that US President Donald Trump may be suffering from dementia, and that too with receipts. This comes as the feud between the two men continues to get more feral every day and as Newsom's renewed the attack on POTUS. After Trump sent federal troops to Los Angeles without the Governor's permission, a move for which Newsom sued the president. In a satirical, yet pointed post clearly targeted at Trump, Newsom even dragged in Grok to stand witness. Here's what happened.<h2>What did Newsom say about Trump and dementia?</h2>It all started with Trump and what he said about 30 minutes into the cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday. Taking at Newsom or Governor "Newscum," as the POTUS likes to call him, Trump repeated claims that the federal government had to force California to "turn on the water" after the wildfires that devastated the US state earlier this year.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/taylor-swift-engaged-to-travis-kelce-and-even-trump-is-suddenly-nice-to-her-potus-finds-love-for-popstar-after-months-of-hate-says-this-1756257878135">Taylor Swift engaged to Travis Kelce; POTUS finds love for popstar after months of HATE</a>Re-posting a clip of Trump's ramblings, Newsom added a barb of his own: A screenshot of him asking Elon Musk's AI chatbot, "Do people with dementia repeat false things over and over again?". To this, Grok AI replied in the affirmative, reinforcing the point Newsom was trying to prove and said, "Yes, people with dementia can repeat false statements or beliefs, a behaviour often linked to memory impairments and cognitive changes.""This can manifest as confabulation, where they create or repeat false memories to fill gaps in recollection, or perseveration, where they fixate on a particular idea or statement," added the chatbot.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/explained-why-trump-fired-fed-governor-lisa-cook-and-why-she-says-he-can-t-what-does-the-us-constitution-say-1756186283292">Explained | Why Trump fired Fed Governor Lisa Cook — and why she says he can't.

<h2>What is the 'turn on the water' controversy?</h2>Less than two weeks before his inauguration on 20 January 2025, Trump wrongly sought to blame Newsom and the California administration for water shortages and, in turn, exacerbated the wildfires in Los Angeles. He alleged that Newsom “refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water,” to protect an “essentially worthless fish called a smelt”. However, the claim was fact-checked by AFP at the time, which reported that much of Los Angeles' water supply comes from the Colorado River, with agriculture being the primary consumer.Subsequently, Trump claimed that the US military entered California and "turned on the water."Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/-just-dance-vance-newsom-taunts-trump-s-vp-jd-vance-with-new-nickname-says-not-even-his-eyeliner-lines-1755506542466">'Just Dance Vance': Newsom taunts Trump's VP JD Vance with new nickname, says 'Not even his eyeliner lines…'</a>"The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond.

This claim, which was fact-checked by the California Department of Water Resources which asserted that "the military did not enter California". &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

California Governor Gavin Newsom has stepped up his feud with President Donald Trump, posting on X a pointed question to Grok about dementia. The move comes after Trump repeated a false claim that he had to force California to "turn on the water" to fight wildfires. Scroll down for more.

After Trump sent federal troops to Los Angeles without the Governor's permission, a move for which Newsom sued the president. In a satirical, yet pointed post clearly targeted at Trump, Newsom even dragged in Grok to stand witness. Here's what happened. What did Newsom say about Trump and dementia? It all started with Trump and what he said about 30 minutes into the cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday. Taking at Newsom or Governor "Newscum," as the POTUS likes to call him, Trump repeated claims that the federal government had to force California to "turn on the water" after the wildfires that devastated the US state earlier this year.

To this, Grok AI replied in the affirmative, reinforcing the point Newsom was trying to prove and said, "Yes, people with dementia can repeat false statements or beliefs, a behaviour often linked to memory impairments and cognitive changes." "This can manifest as confabulation, where they create or repeat false memories to fill gaps in recollection, or perseveration, where they fixate on a particular idea or statement," added the chatbot.

Water, the source of all life, is not only present on Earth, but also in other places in the universe. Research found huge amounts of water swirling in space during the early years of the universe. This water body is so huge that it could fit 140 trillion times the amount of water found on Earth. It is located 12 billion light-years away, meaning that it existed when the universe was only about one billion years old. Light-years is the amount of time light takes to reach Earth; hence, the light from this source has travelled 12 billion years to reveal this stupendous cosmic body of water. This reservoir of water is orbiting a quasar called APM 08279+5255. Quasars are extremely bright objects typically located at the centre of some galaxies and powered by a supermassive black hole. When the black holes feed on matter, they release large amounts of energy, which is visible as a highly luminous light source.

A lost city being called the Stone Age Atlantis, has been found deep in the ocean in Denmark's Bay of Aarhus. Archaeologists say that this small city went underwater when the last ice age ended about 8,500 years ago. With its end, massive ice sheets started melting, leading sea levels to rise and submerge Stone Age settlements. They dug up only about an area of 430 square feet and found evidence that humans once lived there and practised organised activities. Researchers found stone tools, animal bones, a piece of wood that appears to be a tool of some kind and arrowheads, all proving a thriving human society in the region. Underwater archaeologist Peter Moe Astrup said that the place is like a "time capsule" where "everything was preserved in an oxygen-free environment and "time just stopped." He stated that this global sea level rise, dramatically altered coastlines.&nbsp;&nbsp;Researchers have previously discovered similar Stone Age settlements on land, but this is the first time that they have come across one under the ocean. They believe that the sea is hiding many more clues about the life of the Mesolithic people, such as harpoons, fish hooks or traces of fishing structures, since living on the coast, they would have depended on fishing for food. As Astrup said, everything is perfectly preserved in the absence of oxygen, with organic materials like wood and nuts shedding light on what these people made and consumed.

Donald Trump has made a surprise U-turn on Taylor Swift, calling her a "terrific person" after months of bashing the singer over her support for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. The US president once declared, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" on Truth Social and has repeatedly mocked her in rants since. Just weeks ago, he even claimed credit for what he claimed was a drop in her popularity, bragging that she had been "booed out of the Super Bowl." However, on Tuesday (Aug 28), when Swift announced her engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce, Trump struck a strikingly different tone.<h2>What did Trump say about Taylor Swift</h2>Asked during a cabinet meeting about what one reporter called the "biggest pop culture news of the year," Trump surprised even Vice President JD Vance, who looked braced for another tirade and said, "Well I wish them a lot of luck". He added that he thinks "he's a great player and he's a great guy and I think that she's a terrific person...So I wish them a lot of luck."

SpaceX's Starship splashed down in the Indian Ocean after a successful launch off the launchpad in southern Texas on Tuesday (Aug 28) evening. This marks the megarocket's 10th test flight and a crucial step in Elon Musk's push to make humans a multiplanetary species. The 403-foot (123-meter) tall rocket, the most powerful ever built, lifted off from Starbase at 6:30 pm local time (2330 GMT), drawing cheers from SpaceX engineers watching on a live webcast. The flight comes after back-to-back delays: a fuel leak halted Sunday's attempt, and poor weather forced a scrub on Monday.&nbsp;<h2>"Splashdown successful"</h2>On X, SpaceX celebrated its success with a video of the splashdown and the message, "Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting tenth flight test of Starship!"Expectations were high, with the last three missions ending in explosions of the upper stage — two over the Caribbean and one after reaching space. Another upper stage blew up during ground testing in June.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/elon-musk-s-starship-grounded-again-spacex-scraps-texas-launch-for-second-time-in-2-day-1756169269391">Elon Musk’s Starship grounded again: SpaceX scraps Texas launch for second time in 2 days</a><h2>Starship's previous failures</h2>Previously, on Monday (Aug 25), SpaceX had to call off the much-awaited launch of its behemoth rocket due to bad weather.

Musk's Starship finally achieves success: SpaceX rocket completes 10th test flight after multiple failures

SpaceX's Starship splashed down in the Indian Ocean after a successful launch off the launchpad in southern Texas on Tuesday (Aug 28) evening. This marks the megarocket's 10th test flight and a crucial step in Elon Musk's push to make humans a multiplanetary species. The 403-foot (123-meter) tall rocket, the most powerful ever built, lifted off from Starbase at 6:30 pm local time (2330 GMT), drawing cheers from SpaceX engineers watching on a live webcast. The flight comes after back-to-back delays: a fuel leak halted Sunday's attempt, and poor weather forced a scrub on Monday. "Splashdown successful" On X, SpaceX celebrated its success with a video of the splashdown and the message, "Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting tenth flight test of Starship!" Expectations were high, with the last three missions ending in explosions of the upper stage — two over the Caribbean and one after reaching space. Another upper stage blew up during ground testing in June.

As Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Japan later this week, his renewed call for economic self‑reliance through the ‘swadeshi’ movement and ‘vocal for local’ campaigns gains greater resonance. He has urged Indian shopkeepers to display boards announcing “yahan swadeshi maal bikta hai” (locally made goods are sold here) to counter looming tariff threats from US President Donald Trump. Japan’s system of ‘Made in Japan' or ‘nihonsei’ labelling offers a subtle yet effective model for raising consumer awareness about locally made goods without heavy‑handed directives.<h2>What is ‘nihonsei’ labelling in Japan?</h2>Nihonsei is the Japanese term for “made in Japan,” combining nihon (Japan) and sei (made or manufactured).

Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS can help humans with interstellar travel. Harvard scientist Avi Loeb has suggested that if we intercept the alien "mothership", then we can gain access to valuable data and information on interstellar travel. This would cut down not only on time spent on researching how to leave the solar system, but also save us billions and trillions of dollars. He argues in a blog post that the visitor from the outer world can help humans journey through space, something that seems almost impossible right now. 3I/ATLAS is currently thought to be a comet, but Loeb thinks it could be an alien probe sent by an intelligent civilisation living in another part of the universe. If this turns out to be true, he thinks humans should try to learn more about it, as it would offer a multitude of benefits scientifically. However, he has also raised fears that aliens could be coming to attack Earth.

Archaeologists have unearthed a Jurassic-era creature in the Jaisalmer area of Rajasthan, which resembles a crocodile. The fossil has been named a phytosaur, and according to researchers, it could be more than &nbsp;200 million years old. The creature that lived partly on land and in water measures between 1.5 to 2 metres, and is possibly the ancestor of modern-day crocodiles.

New questions have surfaced over the type of weapon used in the deadly strike on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital, with experts suggesting Israel deployed a guided Spike missile in the attack. Weapons analyst Dheifallah Al-Dabboubi, cited in reports, argued that the destruction pattern at the site was unusually precise, consistent with a guided strike rather than the widespread damage typical of cluster munitions. The concentrated impact suggested a deliberate choice of target.&nbsp;Human rights observers also studied the trajectory of the munition, observing it originated from the northwest and followed a guided path—matching the known capabilities of the Spike missile family. The Hind Rajab Foundation, which analysed the evidence, went further, accusing the Israeli military of carrying out a calculated “double-tap” strike designed to hit not only the hospital but also medics, first responders, and journalists in the area.

Did Israel use guided spike missile Heres all you need to know about the weapon amid claims of them being fired in Gaza hospital attack

New questions have surfaced over the type of weapon used in the deadly strike on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital, with experts suggesting Israel deployed a guided Spike missile in the attack. Weapons analyst Dheifallah Al-Dabboubi, cited in reports, argued that the destruction pattern at the site was unusually precise, consistent with a guided strike rather than the widespread damage typical of cluster munitions. The concentrated impact suggested a deliberate choice of target. Human rights observers also studied the trajectory of the munition, observing it originated from the northwest and followed a guided path—matching the known capabilities of the Spike missile family. The Hind Rajab Foundation, which analysed the evidence, went further, accusing the Israeli military of carrying out a calculated “double-tap” strike designed to hit not only the hospital but also medics, first responders, and journalists in the area. Such an action, if confirmed, could constitute a war crime under international law. Also Read: Ukraine shows off 'Long Neptune': A domestic missile that can hit targets 1,000 km inside Russia.

NASA’s SPHEREx space observatory has noticed a cloud of carbon dioxide (CO2) around 3I/ATLAS, the interstellar object racing towards the inner solar system. The observations were made between August 8–12, and Harvard scientist Avi Loeb has an interesting theory about it. He has been claiming that this object is not natural and has been sent by extraterrestrial beings to probe Earth and other planets. He wrote in a blog post that SPHEREx noticed "a mass loss rate of about 70 kilograms per second" and "no water (H2O) cloud was detected." Loeb added that the NASA report shows a "lack of a bright water gas coma", which has confused scientists since 3I/ATLAS was "not too far outside the Solar system’s 'water ice line” at 2.5 AU" when the observatory made the observations. He admits that even though H2O is not present in gas form, "the reflected spectrum from the surface of 3I/ATLAS" showed a "mix of water and carbon dioxide ices combined with organics."Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/wake-up-call-for-humanity-scientist-wants-3i-atlas-to-be-alien-spaceship-here-s-why-1756095787834">'Wake-up call for humanity’: Scientist wants 3I/ATLAS to be alien spaceship — Here’s why</a> Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/harvard-scientist-calls-on-world-leaders-to-prepare-common-plan-on-alien-attack-1755064546960">3I/ATLAS and its 'intent': Harvard scientist calls on world leaders to prepare for an alien attack</a>&nbsp;<h2>NASA observatory data suggests 3I/ATLAS is extremely large</h2>He once again argued that the latest images by SPHEREx do not resolve the "dust coma" contention, and the sunlight scattered around it is compact and reflecting off the dust on it.

Loeb says that if this object is a space rock, then it is a million times bigger than the previous interstellar comet 2I/Borisov. However, as per his calculations, this is not possible.

Ukraine has upgraded its domestically produced Neptune anti-ship missile, the same missile it had used to sink 'Moskva' the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in April 2022. While the earlier version of the Neptune missile had a maximum range of about 300 kilometres, the upgraded Neptune missile as per reports has the capability of hitting targets up to 1,000 kilometres away. The ameliorated version of domestically produced Neptune missiles has become an object of fascination after it made an appearance in an Instagram day video published by state-run weapons portal Zbroya on Ukraine's Independence Day. Here's all we know about Neptune 2.0 missiles.<h2>What can 'Long Neptune' do?

<h2>Why is Ukraine's new Neptune missile a big deal?</h2>The unveiling of the domestically made long-range missile coincides with Zelensky's remark that Ukraine now possesses its own long-range weaponry. This comes on the heels of reports suggesting that the United States, since late spring, has quietly restricted Ukraine from using American-supplied long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to strike targets inside Russia. America has also reportedly restricted Ukraine's use of all foreign technology that uses American intelligence and components. The same restrictions also cover Britain's Storm Shadow cruise missiles, which rely on American targeting data.Watch | Russia Unveils “Sea Terminator”: Hypersonic Missile Warship Targets Subs &amp; Aircraft Carriers<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/russia-unveils-sea-terminator-hypersonic-missile-warship-targets-subs-aircraft-carriers-wion-1756189742371/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/russia-unveils-sea-terminator-hypersonic-missile-warship-targets-subs-aircraft-carriers-wion-1756189742371/embed</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;

Perth has increasingly been labelled Australia’s “meth capital,” with alarmingly high consumption rates that rank among the highest globally. According to data from the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC), wastewater analysis reveals that residents of Western Australia are consuming approximately 70 doses of methamphetamine per 1,000 people each day—significantly above the national average.

Perth has increasingly been labelled Australia’s “meth capital,” with alarmingly high consumption rates that rank among the highest globally. According to data from the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC), wastewater analysis reveals that residents of Western Australia are consuming approximately 70 doses of methamphetamine per 1,000 people each day—significantly above the national average. This persistent trend reflects a growing public health crisis. A 2025 report highlighted a 21% nationwide surge in meth use over just one year, with Western Australia leading all states in per capita consumption.

Elon Musk is facing flak for spreading hate against Islam. The SpaceX CEO reposted an old story piece talking about a case of revenge rape in Pakistan. The incident reportedly happened in 2017 in the village of Muzaffarabad. A man raped a 12-year-old girl, and instead of initiating legal action against him, the village council ordered the brother of the victim to rape the rapist's 16-year-old sister. The innocent girl was reportedly disgraced in front of 40 people. The original user who posted the news of the incident wrote that the "revenge rape" was carried out under Sharia law. Elon Musk reposted it on August 25, inviting flak for promoting hatred against Islam. Even his own AI tool, Grok, dismissed the claim that Islamic law supports revenge rape. The user wrote, alongside a clipping of the story, "PAKISTAN: a woman was raped, and instead of arresting the rapist, the Sharia council decided that the rapist’s sister should be raped by the victim’s brother."Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/pakistani-man-who-threatened-flight-attendant-with-gang-rape-is-married-to-this-supermodel-has-another-wife-in-london-1754546360137">Pakistani man who threatened flight attendant with gang rape is married to a supermodel, has another wife in London</a>&nbsp;<h2>Grok refutes claims of Islamic law and revenge rape</h2>When Grok was asked whether the claim is true, it stated, that the "disturbing case" happened in in Punjab, Pakistan, "where a rapist’s family negotiated a reconciliation with the victim’s family, leading to the rapist’s sister being raped by the victim’s brother as a form of "revenge rape," a practice not explicitly supported by Sharia law but linked to local tribal customs like the Pashtunwali code of honor." The AI fact-checking tool added, "This case highlights how cultural practices can override legal frameworks, a phenomenon supported by a 2016 study in the Journal of South Asian Studies on gender violence in Pakistan." Grok further stated that the incident "reflects regional patriarchal traditions rather than a universal Islamic mandate."&nbsp;

<h2>Netizens slam Musk for promoting anti-Islam posts without checking facts</h2>Netizens are now slamming Musk for posting a message that promotes hate against Islam without checking the facts. A user commented, "Elon Musk, you should not try to insult the Islamic religion by spreading a mistake that confuses tribal customs in Pakistan with Islamic law." Another user contradicted the claim that no arrests were made. She wrote, "Unlike the claim that the rapist was not arrested, police in Pakistan did make arrests in this case after the incident came to light. They arrested the head of the village council and other members who ordered the attack, as well as the brother who carried out the revenge rape." She added, "The village councils that issue these rulings are illegal in Pakistan, and their ‘justice’ is based on centuries-old tribal traditions, not on formal Islamic law." A Guardian report backed the arrests, saying that action was taken against a total of 26 people in the case.&nbsp;A user wrote that he has dropped plans of buying a Tesla after seeing Musk promote anti-Muslim hate. "Don’t spread misinformation about Islam. What happened in Pakistan is tied to local culture, not religion," the comment read. "Misframing it as Islam is misleading and harmful. I was considering buying a Tesla before the $7,500 rebate deadline, but I won’t support a company led by someone who promotes such views." Musk has not commented on the criticism he in inviting by doing so yet.

Scientists have discovered the source of repeating short, sharp radio pulses that were first detected in June last year. The MeerKAT in South Africa tracked the signals to a cosmic event that generated an intense outburst, producing hundreds of such bursts across multiple frequency bands. Known as fast radio bursts (FRB), researchers say that these signals came from a far-off place in deep space. The burst seen on June 19, 2024, is known as FRB 20240619D. The source emitted hundreds of tiny but powerful pulses within minutes. Lead author Jun Tian of the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at The University of Manchester (JBCA) wrote in the paper that initially, they recorded "three bursts being detected within two minutes in the MeerKAT L-band." To understand what was happening, the researchers checked for the bursts on ultra-high frequency, L band, and S band. They recorded a total of 249 bursts.

The data also stated the signals preferred one clear frequency, as most of them were centred in the L band rather than at lower or higher radio frequencies. This meant that the bursts are strongest around the L-band and showed a downward drift towards the end. In most repeaters, there are compact emission zones.

249 radio signals slam Earth in minutes: Deep-space eruption puzzles scientists

Russia has unveiled a new symbol of maritime power, touted as the "Sea Monster": the frigate Admiral Amelko, capable of carrying hypersonic missiles. Part of the Russian Navy’s Project 22350, the Gorshkov-class frigate’s launch is a key component of Russia’s ambitious $100 billion plan to modernise its navy. Pro-Russian military commentators are referring to it as the Sea Terminator. The warship boasts cutting-edge weaponry and strategic significance as Russia aims to establish naval dominance by 2050. Here is what you should know:<h2>Admiral Amelko is equipped with the Zircon hypersonic missile</h2>Admiral Amelko can carry advanced missile systems such as the 3M22 Zircon (Tsirkon) hypersonic cruise missile. Zircon, according to reports, represents a major leap in missile technology, with speeds reaching between Mach 8 and 9 (approximately 6,100–7,000 mph).&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/exclusive-russia-tests-space-rover-on-north-polar-ice-sheet-1755590879202">Exclusive: Russia tests space rover on North Polar ice sheet</a>The missile can strike targets up to 1,500 km away on both land and sea.

Russia has unveiled a new symbol of maritime power, touted as the "Sea Monster": the frigate Admiral Amelko, capable of carrying hypersonic missiles. Part of the Russian Navy’s Project 22350, the Gorshkov-class frigate’s launch is a key component of Russia’s ambitious $100 billion plan to modernise its navy. Pro-Russian military commentators are referring to it as the Sea Terminator. The warship boasts cutting-edge weaponry and strategic significance as Russia aims to establish naval dominance by 2050. Here is what you should know: Admiral Amelko is equipped with the Zircon hypersonic missile Admiral Amelko can carry advanced missile systems such as the 3M22 Zircon (Tsirkon) hypersonic cruise missile. Zircon, according to reports, represents a major leap in missile technology, with speeds reaching between Mach 8 and 9 (approximately 6,100–7,000 mph).
