Russia has been working on development since 2019: Kremlin leader speaks of important step to strengthen Russian security.
Russia has successfully tested several hypersonic missiles simultaneously, according to President Vladimir Putin. The tests took place during the night and were "successful and flawless," Putin said in a televised address Friday.
For Russia, this was "a great event and an important step toward strengthening Russian security and improving its defense capabilities," he added.
Putin had announced the development of the Zirkon hypersonic missile in February 2019. Since then, the Russian army conducted several tests with the missile. However, Russia had not reported simultaneous testing of several Zirkon missiles until now.
Hypersonic missiles can reach more than five times the speed of sound and are maneuverable in flight. Thus, they are difficult for conventional air defenses to detect and intercept. An international race has broken out between the U.S., Russia and China to develop hypersonic missiles. (AFP)
