Two US defense officials have confirmed that the claim of Russia testing a hypersonic missile off the California coast is false and merely propaganda.
A lot of people on X have been speculating that there may have been a Russian Navy hypersonic missile test off the coast of Southern California, based on what they believe to be a NOTAM, or aviation alert to airmen. However, that's not the case. The War Zone claims that the NOTAM was indeed issued in case a Russian space rocket sank in the Pacific.
Let's start with the false propaganda on X regarding the potential dangers posed by Russian missile launches near the coast of California. Over a million people have viewed these posts combined.
Russian Navy rocket/gun/missile firing starts this afternoon off the coast of California and Baja until the 26th in International waters. Shouldn’t really affect any flights going to/from Hawaii.
