The Russian Navy will start getting deliveries of Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles in 2022, said Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting with Defence Ministry leadership and heads of defence industry enterprises in Sochi, on Wednesday.
“Tests of the Zirkon sea-based hypersonic cruise missile are nearing completion. During the tests, a missile hit both ground and sea targets from underwater positions and from surface ships in full compliance with the task. The deliveries of these missiles to the Russian Navy will begin next year,” said Putin.
During the meeting, the Russian leader stressed the importance of creating high-power laser weapons and new robotic systems with the use of artificial intelligence technologies.
“Now it is especially important to develop and implement the technologies necessary to create new hypersonic weapons systems, high-powered lasers and robotic systems that will be able to effectively counter potential military threats, which means they will further strengthen the security of our country,” he said.
Putin also noted the development of prospective weapons must be fully reflected in the new state arms program until 2033.

SOT, Vladimir Putin, Russian President (Russian): “The creation of laser, hypersonic, kinetic and other weapons that have no analogues in the world was a real breakthrough in military technology in our country. It significantly increased the capabilities of the Armed Forces, as well as provided a high level of military security and helped to strengthen the strategic parity in Russia for many years. Today the development and serial production of such effective, high-tech and innovative weapons is one of the key areas of growth of the Russian Armed Forces. Of course, this requires time, additional efforts and finances, there is the long, painstaking work of thousands of our scientists, engineers, programmers and other specialists behind each sample. I mentioned more than once that we have achieved a very significant advance in this field due to the Russian military-industrial complex and our fundamental and applied science. The conducted tests convincingly confirmed the unique characteristics of the Peresvet laser units and the Avangard and Kinzhal hypersonic systems. I would like to say that tests of the Zirkon sea-based hypersonic cruise missile are nearing completion. During the tests, a missile hit both ground and sea targets from underwater positions and from surface ships in full compliance with the task. The deliveries of these missiles to the Russian Navy will begin next year. Now it is especially important to develop and implement the technologies necessary to create new hypersonic weapons systems, high-powered lasers and robotic systems that will be able to effectively counter potential military threats, which means they will further strengthen the security of our country. I would like to point out that the use of artificial intelligence technologies is extremely important for the development of prospective types and models of weapons. We have already discussed this at meetings. It also should provide a qualitative breakthrough in enhancing the combat characteristics of weapons. Such technologies should also be more actively used in troop and weapon control systems, as well as in communications, data transmission systems and high-precision missile systems. It is also important to implement artificial intelligence technologies for creating advanced robotics with a higher degree of autonomy, as well as for providing control of drones and deep-sea vehicles. All these priorities and tasks must be fully reflected in the new state arms program until 2033. The Ministry of Defence is already working on the documents of the unified system of initial data. The key task here is to produce and supply prospective weapons and equipment to the troops, as well as to ensure reliable protection from potential threats.”
