How claim The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, “Gorshkov” struck a sea target – “enemy ship” – at a distance of more than 900 km with “Zircon”. According to the ministry, the training launch was carried out using computer simulation.
On the same day, the frigate was put into combat service.

Rocket “Zircon” – what is known
In Russia, “Zirkon” is called “the world’s first hypersonic cruise missile capable of long-term aerodynamic flight with maneuvering in the atmosphere using the thrust of its own engine.”
It is claimed that the missile is capable of developing up to nine speeds of sound, and the firing range is one thousand kilometers. “Zircon” can hit targets both on water and on land.
It is worth noting that Russian naval exercises with “super weapons” usually ended in failure.
Recently, there was a report that the Americans are pursuing arms with Russia and China are developing the latest killer lasers, with which they will equip their warships. Their main advantage is the ability to destroy hypersonic missiles in the air.
