The Russian military test-fired about one dozen new Tsirkon hypersonic cruise missiles from warships last week, according to reports, citing the northern fleet.
Interfax news agency reported on Friday that Moscow test-fired around 10 of the new hypersonic weapon systems from a frigate and two more from a submarine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has lauded the weapon as part of a new generation of unrivaled arms systems.
