The deadline for the completion of tests of "Zircon" from a surface carrier has been announced

31

Tests of the Zircon hypersonic missile from a surface launch vehicle are scheduled to be completed by the end of this summer; the lead frigate of Project 22350, Admiral Gorshkov, will participate in the tests.

The Ministry of Defense plans to complete part of the Zircon tests by the end of the summer, with regard to launches from a surface carrier. Then the tests will continue on board the submarine, taking into account the fact that state tests should be completed by the end of 2021.



According to RIA News, which cite a source in the shipbuilding field, several launches will be carried out at land and sea targets, including a simultaneous salvo of two missiles at two different targets.

Thus, judging by the source, the tests of the Zircon from the surface and underwater carriers will take place sequentially, and not in parallel. Earlier, another source in the defense industry said that in order to speed up the missile tests, it was decided to conduct parallel launches from the board of the Admiral Gorshkov and the nuclear submarine Severodvinsk.

However, this is the decision of the developers and the military, how exactly to carry out the tests, the result is important, and it will undoubtedly be. Moreover, in all cases, the end of the test is called the end of this year with the adoption of the "Zircon" in service in 2022.

As already reported, the frigates of Project 22350 and the Yasen-M multipurpose submarines will be the first carriers of the hypersonic missile.

        Zircon is a funny name. It looks like a circus. Sworn friends tremble with terrible laughter. It's hysterical.

          Zirconium, a simple substance, is a shiny silver-gray metal. Possesses high plasticity, corrosion resistance.
          But still better "ZirKon" - ie. CIRCUS and HORSE

      Good news. A serious argument at sea. About frigates and "Yaseni-M" is understandable ... Can they be used on diesel boats and "Karakurt"? There was something about universal launchers ...

        A serious argument at sea.

        With a launch range of up to 450 km at a previously known fixed target?
        Funny ...
        We need an anti-ship missile with a launch range of about 1000 km, but the Zircon cannot do that. This is not an argument, but so ..., technology development ...

              About the distance to the target. This indirectly refers to the maximum range of the rocket. It is quite possible that the dimension of the polygon is not enough.

          Wait with chuckles. The one who laughs last laughs well. Who will post the true performance characteristics of the newest weapons in Wikipedia or in the book? At first, they also wrote about the "Calibers" that they had a range of 500 km.

        This is an outdated tactic won in 1940 with the finals, so even if the cartoons make you think, these are the correct necessary cartoons .. Vaughn from the Americans with SOI did a great job ..

        But first, "make your Chick, Bryk" - create a huge satellite constellation, develop protocols for the exchange of information in real time for all types and branches of the armed forces, customize it.
        And only after that you may be able to launch a rocket with the result "Chick, Bryk" ....
