The Russian Defense Ministry released video of a frigate conducting drills in the Norwegian Sea while carrying hypersonic cruise missiles. Hypersonic missiles travel low in the atmosphere and can maneuver mid-air.
The Russian Zircon is a hypersonic cruise missile, which means it launches and propels itself using an air-breathing engine called a scramjet. This technology is newly employed in the world of weaponry.
Russia used another type of hypersonic missile against Ukraine last year, becoming the first to do so in conflict. However, those were hypersonic glide missiles, which cannot launch on their own.
