(Natural News) Russia has successfully test-fired a new hypersonic cruise missile from an underwater vessel. The country’s defense ministry said on Oct. 4 that the Tsirkon hypersonic missile hit its intended target after being fired from a Russian submarine. Russian President Vladimir Putin has lauded the missile, which forms part of Russia’s novel arms systems.
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has confirmed the missile’s successful launch from the Severodvinsk submarine while in the Barents Sea. Footage from the ministry shows the Tsirkon missile shooting upwards, lighting up the night sky and the water. “The test firing of the Tsirkon missile from a nuclear submarine was deemed successful,” it says.
Russian state news agency TASS reported back in July that the Tsirkon hypersonic missile was successfully test-fired from an above-water vessel. According to the report, it was launched from the Admiral Gorshkov frigate while the vessel was in the White Sea.
A July 19 MoD statement said: “According to live monitoring data, the Tsirkon missile successfully hit a target directly at a range of over 350 kilometers.” The missile’s surface target was located on the coast of the Barents Sea, which the Tsirkon hit. The statement added: “During the test, the tactical and technical characteristics were confirmed – [and the] flight speed reached nearly Mach 7.”
The Tsirkon missile is just one of many armaments in Russia’s arsenal against the United States. Back in 2018, Putin announced an array of new hypersonic weapons. He said in a speech that year that these new weapons could hit almost any location around the globe and even bypass the U.S. defense system against such missiles.
Some Western experts have questioned the full extent of advancement in Russia’s new hypersonic weapons, but they recognize the difficulty of tracking and intercepting hypersonic missiles due to the combination of speed, maneuverability and altitude.
