On January 25, the Russian Ministry of Defense released a picture of the frigate "Admiral Gorshkov" simulating the launch of the "Zircon" hypersonic cruise missile in the waters of the western Atlantic Ocean.

  The commander of the ship, Krochmar, said that a ship combat exercise was carried out that day, and an imaginary enemy target was attacked.

During the exercise, the "Zircon" hypersonic missile was launched using computer simulation, and successfully "hit" a simulated enemy ship target 900 kilometers away.

The simulated launch results were exactly as expected.

  On January 4, Russia's first naval frigate "Admiral Gorshkov" equipped with "Zircon" hypersonic missiles began combat duty and sailed to sea.

Russian Defense Minister Shoigu said that the frigate "Admiral Gorshkov" will sail across the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean and Mediterranean Sea to practice using "Zircon" hypersonic missiles and long-range cruise missiles in various environments. .

  The "Zircon" missile is Russia's first sea-based hypersonic cruise missile, which can be carried and launched by surface ships and submarines, with a flight speed of Mach 9 and a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.
