Chief of the Russian military’s General Staff told President Vladimir Putin the missile had successfully struck a target at sea for the first time.

Russia says it has successfully tested a new hypersonic anti-ship cruise missile in a move hailed by President Vladimir Putin as a “great event” for the country.

The military said on Wednesday that the Tsirkon missile was fired from the Admiral Gorshkov frigate in the White Sea on Tuesday morning in the Russian Arctic and successfully hit its target.

Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian military’s General Staff, told Putin – who turned 68 on Wednesday – that it was the first time the missile had successfully struck a target at sea.

“The tasks of the launch were carried out. The test-fire was successful,” he told Putin. Gerasimov said the missile hit its target 450 kilometres (280 miles) away in the Barents Sea and reached a speed of Mach 8 – eight times the speed of sound.

Russia has in the last years touted the development of futuristic new weapons it hopes will give it the edge in any arms race with the United States at a time of growing tensions with the West.

Putin said the test-firing of Tsirkon was a “great event not just in the life of our armed forces but for all of Russia”.

He said such weapons, which he claimed are unequalled worldwide, “will without doubt in the long term boost the defence capabilities of our state”.

The defence ministry said that the plan was to equip both warships and submarines with the Tsirkon.

Putin had revealed the development of the new weapon in a state of the nation address in February 2019, saying it could hit targets at sea and on land with a range of 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) and a speed of Mach 9.

Russia boasts of developing a number of “invincible” weapons that surpass existing systems and include Sarmat intercontinental missiles and Burevestnik cruise missiles.

The first Avangard hypersonic missiles were put into service in December last year.

The programme is not without risks and seven people were killed in an explosion at a missile test site in August 2019. Western experts linked the blast to work on the Burevestnik.

Well, the immigration reform has ensured Nigerians find it difficult to migrate to the US. My cousin's wife is stuck in Nigeria for over one year now. Dude is now very active in Atlanta canvasing votes for Biden

If you are blockhead....you are not blockwaist...that's where world bank is located.

there's a beginning for everything including the earth itself.

That's why we do not concern ourselves with how a thing started but how well done.

Nigeria once wasn't but it is now. Simply because China came before US doesn't mean that it was better, greater or more sophisticated.

Macsjebs, with all due respect, man please take down this post.

I know you are at liberty to post whatever it is that you wish to post but I am getting fed up with the Iranians and their boasts already.

The last time they had an opportunity to atomize US military bases in the Gulf and Middle East, what did they do?

They simply ended up firing into blank spaces and the best result they got was giving a few US servicemen headaches and trauma here and there.

And now, they are showcasing new weapons that can take out US military bases in the Gulf? Jokers. I stopped taking them seriously after seeing their reaction to General Q. Soleimani's death.

Right now, my focus is on where the real action is at the moment- Armenia vs Azerbaijan.

All these display of rockets don't quite do it for me since the people displaying them won't be using them any time soon.

I hope you understand me.

If it is Libya or Algeria or Venezuela or Syria now, US and Nato allies would have deployed all sorts of military equipment to defend democracy..... This people have been protesting since last year but the "civilized" world has decided not to see it. Many of the protesters have been brutalized by the police yet it is Belarus they are having orgasm over.

UDOKABESTLUV:

thesicilian:
No be only Nigerian political gatherings agberos dey.

Jdbrasco2:
Not anymore! Like you have not been following recent events. Basically yhe US is there cos of their allies. There a lot to say but you
can check out Trump's policy in the middle east. He has withdrawn most of US soldiers across the world. American is energy independent currently, so that narrative no longer holds.

Minsk24:
Quit this baseless attacks on CNN... it remains a credible media unless you are Trumpian...
We need a world Leader that will knit the world together, we humans must naturally look up to someone for leadership and US is the best option...
We can't have a Chinese-Led world simple...
I am a big follower of what's going on in China and i know what I mean regarding human rights....
Lets not debate on what is obvious biko...
USA is not a perfect country.. We all know how they operate but its best we leave leadership to them...
Yes Blacks face racism and all that but racism and all that cannot be totally erased... Please lets not talk further on this issue.. Every country get their fault

Enceladus:
Iran protects the place. What is the US even doing there

gaius01:
Arrrrrrrh


Iran don't know the implementation of what they are doing. They are starting a war that's they can't scale through. They think thier gadget can override that of USA. They should better stop before they can't control it.
