The Deputy Minister also said that the modernized Western command post of the space echelon from the Unified Space Missile Attack Warning System (SPRN) took up experimental duty in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Earlier, the state commission recommended that the Zircon hypersonic missile be adopted by surface ships of the Russian Navy. The decision was made based on the results of missile tests.
In December, the press service of the Northern Fleet reported that during the tests, the Zircon was successfully launched almost ten times from a surface carrier.
In November, it became known that the Zircon missile launches would be resumed in 2024. Ammunition tests will be carried out from the Perm nuclear submarine.
