The Russian Defence Ministry released Wednesday a video claiming to show its warship conducting drills on using hypersonic missiles in “western areas of the Atlantic Ocean”.



The crew of Russian Navy’s Admiral Gorshkov frigate conducted a computer simulation of a launch of a Zircon missile.

Russian President Vladimir had sent the frigate on a trans-ocean cruise earlier this month. The warship will also take part in a joint drill with Chinese and South African navies next month.

Putin has hailed Zircon as a potent weapon capable of penetrating any existing anti-missile defences by flying nine times faster than the speed of sound at a range of more than 1,000 kilometres (over 620 miles).
