Russia said on Monday it had carried out another successful test launch of its Zircon hypersonic cruise missile, hailed by President Vladimir Putin as part of a new generation of unrivaled arms systems.
The missile was fired from the Admiral Gorshkov warship in the White Sea and hit a naval target more than 400 kilometers (250 miles) away, the Defense Ministry said, in its second test in two weeks.
A short video clip showed the missile illuminating the night sky with a burst of white light.
