The Zircon hypersonic cruise missile, the production of which Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke regarding, has actually been put into service. This was reported by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
“We are starting mass production of Zircon missiles, we have actually put it into service, this year it will already be documented,” Shoigu said on the air of the Rossiya-1 TV channel. He added that the production of other hypersonic Kinzhal missiles continues. According to the minister, this is a confirmation that the Russian Federation is far from being isolated, because the military-industrial complex has worked and is still working. “Thoroughly, reliably, confidently,” Shoigu concluded.
In May, the Russian frigate “Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov” passed the test hypersonic system “Zircon”. At the end of July, Putin said that supply of missiles into the armed forces of the Russian Federation will begin in the coming months.
