Russia tested a hypersonic missile during the joint military exercise with Belarus. In addition, they carried out several strokes.
Russia announced on Sunday that it had detonated its hypersonic rocket Zirkon and hit the goal in the Barents Sea. Russian supersonic fighter bombers Sukhoi Su-34 also carried out strokes in joint military exercises with Belarus. According to Reuters report, TASR reports this.
The Zirkon rocket was detonated from Fregata Admiral Golovko, which is part of the Russian northern fleet. “According to objective monitoring data obtained in real time, the goal was destroyed by direct intervention,” said the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The exercise also involved anti -submarine aircraft with a long range from the mixed aircraft of the northern fleet. According to the ministry, the SU-34 crews also rehearsed the bombing of ground targets.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in 2019 that Zirkon can fly nine times the sound speed and hit targets on sea and land at a distance of more than 1000 kilometers. Last year, the Kremlin chief said they were launching mass production of these missiles. Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance (MDAA) based in the United States claims that Zirkon missiles for their supersonic speed cannot capture even the best Western missile systems such as Patriot Air Defense Air Defense System.
