The Zircon program was launched in the 1980s but was later interrupted and only recently resumed when Russia attempted to strengthen its defense potential.

This year, Russia began testing Zircon missiles and by 2022, they could be equipped with cruisers powered by nuclear power.

According to intelligence sources, the Zircon rocket is programmed by a computer in the middle of the flight and dodging incoming missiles. It is possible that this supersonic missile will be equipped with nuclear warheads that cause maximum damage.

Russia can use Zircon to attack aerial targets, on land and at sea.
