A new hypersonic weapon with a maximum power of Mach 9 will appear in Russia in the near future. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin during the 13th VTB Investment Forum "Russia is calling!"


"We have now tested, and successfully, and since the beginning of the year we will already have in service new hypersonic sea-based missiles, Mach 9. The flight time will be 5 minutes for those who give orders, too," he said.

It is expected that serial deliveries of new missiles to the fleet will begin in 2022.

According to the Russian leader, the development of hypersonic weapons is a response to NATO actions that pose threats to Russia.

Earlier, on November 29, the commander-in-chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces, Lieutenant General Andrey Yudin, said that new aircraft with hypersonic weapons will be delivered to the troops of the Aerospace Forces in 2022. According to him, the "level of modernity" of military and special equipment in the VKS will be 89%.

On the same day, the Admiral Gorshkov frigate performed a new test launch of the Zircon hypersonic missile from the White Sea at a range of more than 400 km. Admiral Gorshkov carried out the previous launch of the Zircon rocket on November 18 at a sea target from the White Sea. The target was hit by a direct hit.


On November 3, Putin announced that hypersonic missiles "Zircon" will begin to arrive in the Navy from next year. The Head of State added that the tests carried out also confirmed the uniqueness of the Peresvet (laser weapon complex) and Avangard complexes.

Russian hypersonic weapons were presented in 2018. It includes the Avangard, Dagger and Zircon missiles.
