In addition to maneuvers that last in Belarus, Russia also conducts exercises at the Barents Sea. The Russian Ministry of Defense has published a recording, which shows the ship Admiral Gołowko belonging to the Northern Fleet. It is fired with a hypersonic Cyrkon missile, which was supposed to attack the mock enemy.
“According to objective monitoring data, received in real time, the target was destroyed by direct hit,” said the Ministry of National Defense in the communiqué.
“Rocket firing area has been closed in advance for civil sailing and air flights,” it was written in a communiqué.
According to the data provided by the Russians, zircon missiles can move at a speed of 9 machines at a distance of up to a thousand kilometers. For the first time, Vladimir Putin said about them in 2018, describing them as a new generation of Russian weapons, which can hit any point in the world. Officially, zircon missiles appeared in the Kremlin arsenal in 2023.
