An earlier test launch took place in October, on Putin’s birthday. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who hailed it as a “big event” for the country, says the Zircon missile would be capable of flying at nine times the speed of sound and have a range of 1,000 kilometers.
The defense ministry has said it plans to equip both warships and submarines with the Zircon.
