Russia, in response to the tests of American hypersonic weapons, promptly reported on the completion of flight design tests of the "blind" Zircon missile, according to the Ukrainian information and consulting company Defense Express.
"Information about the successful tests of the Russian missile appeared a day after the Americans reported success with their own hypersonic weapons project," the publication says.
According to the company, after the second test of the Zircon, which took place in November 2020, the Russian side showed a video of the tests, which, unlike the video of the first test, was not accompanied by a description with the phrase "direct hit", which " prompts certain conclusions."
Thus, Defense Express commented on the TASS report, according to which the tests from the coastal stand and the Admiral Gorshkov frigate of the 22350 project of the Russian hypersonic missile "Zircon", which included more than ten launches, have been successfully completed .
In August, the American magazine The National Interest wrote that the Zircon in operation is bad news for NATO.
