This year, two launches of the Russian hypersonic missile "Zircon" from the nuclear submarine "Severodvinsk" are planned. The first test is planned to be conducted from the surface position of the submarine, the second from the underwater position. The timing of the launches is disclosed by TASS, citing a source in the military-industrial complex.

The launch from the surface position is scheduled for early October. "Depending on its results, the second launch is planned in November from under water for a sea target," the source said.

The source added that the planned first launch of the ZIRCON from Severodvinsk in September was postponed to the next month due to the need for technical training.

In September, TASS, citing a source close to the Russian Defense Ministry, reported that flight design tests of the ZIRCON from a surface carrier have been completed.

In August, it was reported that during the Army-2021 forum, the Russian Defense Ministry signed the first contract with the Scientific and Production Association (NGO) of Mechanical Engineering, involving the production of hypersonic Zircon missiles.

At the same time, Boris Obnosov, CEO of the Tactical Missile Armament Corporation (KTRV), said that hypersonic weapons could appear in the United States after 2023.

In the same month, the American magazine The National Interest wrote that the Zircon in operation is bad news for NATO.
