Russia’s Defense Ministry claims success of experiment
According to the foreign news agency, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that a circular missile was fired from the Russian warship Admiral Gorshikov, which successfully hit a target 400 kilometers away.
Russia has been experimenting with a hypersonic missile for some time, with plans to install it in warships and submarines.
Russia, the United States, France and China have long been experimenting with hypersonic glide vehicles called Mach Five.
Announcing a range of new hypersonic weapons in 2018, Putin said they could hit almost any location in the world and avoid the US-made missile shield.
