"Zircon" is a winged, anti-ship hypersonic cruise missile that President Putin first referenced in his 2018 State of the Union speech. The cruise missile was launched from the Navy's Admiral Gorshkov vessel, which hit a target off the coast of northern Russia in the Barents Sea. Russian warships and submarines will be equipped with the Zircon missile, which has a range of over 350 kilometres.
