Russia successfully test-fires ship-based Zircon hypersonic cruise missile

In fast few years Russia has touted the development of futuristic weapons which it hopes will give it the edge in any arms race with the United States. In attempt to boost its weapons capability, Russia on Monday has successfully test-fired the Zircon hypersonic cruise missile.The missile was launched from the Russian Navy's Admiral Gorshkov warship. The missile was locked into a target on the Barents Sea coast in northern Russia.As per Russian defence minister, “The Zircon missile successfully hit a target directly at a range of over 350 kilometres. The flight speed reached nearly Mach 7. The tactical and technical characteristics of the Tsirkon missile were confirmed during the tests" .Last month, the Russian president had said that hypersonic weapons - Avangard and Kinzhal systems - have already entered combat duty and the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and the S-500 "Prometheus" surface-to-air missile were up next.Sarmat is reportedly is an (ICBM) which Putin has described as virtually "non-intercept able" and “practically unlimited range.”Russia has planned to arm warships and submarines with the deadly Zircon missile. Talking about the Zircon missile, it is a winged, anti-ship hypersonic cruise missile which was first mentioned by President Vladimir Putin during his address to the nation in 2018.Zircon is believed to be a maneuvering, winged hypersonic cruise missile with a lift-generating centre body. A booster stage with solid-fuel engines accelerates it to supersonic speeds, after which a scramjet motor with liquid-fuel in the second stage accelerates it to hypersonic speeds. The missile's range is estimated to be 135 to 270 nautical miles (155 to 311 mi; 250 to 500 km) at low level, and up to 400 nmi (460 mi; 740 km) in a semi-ballistic trajectory;[26] average range is around 400–450 km (250–280 mi; 220–240 nmi). According to Russian media (2017), the longest possible range is 540 nmi (620 mi; 1,000 km) and for this purpose a new fuel was created. Some internet tabloid even claims the range of missile can reach 1,000 - 2,000 km, will depend on the type of target. Zircon can travel at a speed of Mach 8–Mach 9. This has led to concerns that it could penetrate existing naval defence systems. Zircon can also exchange information in flight and can be controlled by commands if necessary.

Russia has best missile and defense system in the world

Sir, Should India buy s500 or we are making our own defence system ? Can India be first purchaser before China?
