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.
