The frigate of project 22350 "Admiral Golovko" launched a hypersonic "Zircon" missile in the Barents Sea as part of the "Zapad-2025" exercises. The area of the missile firing was closed in advance for aviation flights and civil navigation.
Target designation for the target position to the command post of the heterogeneous strike forces group was carried out by a long-range anti-submarine aircraft of the fleet, Tu-142.
According to real-time objective control data, the target was destroyed by a direct hit.
Military expert Yuri Knutov explained that the "Zircon" was called the aircraft carrier killer because of the impossibility of interception and almost complete invulnerability to air defense systems.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Lun missile ekranoplan will be restored in Dagestan.
