Russian Navy to Commission Surface-based Tsirkon Hypersonic Missile in 2022
Russia’s newest Tsirkon hypersonic missile designed for surface ships may be commissioned this year.
"The state trials are complete; the surface version of the Tsirkon is expected to be commissioned within the next five months," a source close to the Defense Ministry told TASS Monday.
According to the source, NPO Mashinostroyeniya continues to produce the missiles, while simultaneously working on increasing its range.
On May 28, a Tsirkon was test-fired at its maximum range from the Admiral Gorshkov frigate. It was launched from the Barents Sea at a naval target in the White Sea about 1,000 km away.
