JAKARTA - A video shows a Zicron hypersonic cruise missile being fired from the Barent Sea. The missile then hit the target in the White Sea.
The video was released by the Russian Ministry of Defense. This is a missile test that is being carried out by the Red Bear Country's military.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the missile was launched at a distance of about 1,000 kilometers. The missile was fired from a warship.
President Vladimir Putin described the Zircon as part of a new generation of unmatched weapons systems.
This hypersonic missile is capable of traveling nine times the speed of sound. Russia had previously tested the Zircon from warships and submarines last year.
The Russian military suffered heavy losses of manpower and equipment during its three-month invasion of Ukraine, but is still conducting high-level weapons tests to remind the world of Moscow's prowess in missile technology.
Last month Russia tested a new nuclear-capable intercontinental missile, the Sarmat. The missile is capable of carrying 10 or more warheads and can reach the United States.
