Russia's first frigate "Admiral Gorshkov" equipped with the "Zircon" sea based missile system began service, and Russian President Vladimir Putin attended the service ceremony. Putin said that this weapon can reliably safeguard national security. He thanked the national defense industry experts who started mass production of "zircons" and said that Russia would continue to improve its military strength. According to the Russian news agency Moscow on January 4, Putin said: "I want to emphasize that we will further develop the fighting potential of the armed forces and produce future weapons and equipment that will safeguard Russia's security in the coming decades." Defense Minister Shoigu introduced that the "Grand Admiral Gorshkov" will go to the Atlantic, Indian Ocean and Mediterranean for a long voyage. At the same time, the frigate will exercise the use of "Zircon" hypersonic missiles. He said: "During the voyage, the warship will be mainly committed to dealing with the threats faced by Russia and jointly maintaining regional peace and stability with friendly countries. The crew will practice using hypersonic weapons and long-range cruise missiles in various environments during the exercise and training." The head of the Ministry of National Defense said that "Zircon" is characterized by its ability to ensure the breakthrough of air defense and missile defense systems, with a speed of more than Mach 9 and a range of more than 1000 kilometers. The ship itself can strike the enemy at sea and on land with point force. After Shoigu's speech, Putin ordered the frigate to be put into combat service. Putin said: "I'm very glad! Congratulations! This is a major joint work, and we have achieved the good results we expected. Let's start to carry out the mission! The voyage is smooth!" Zircon is the first hypersonic cruise missile in the world that can use its own engine thrust to make continuous aerodynamic flight in the dense atmosphere. In addition, the commander of the frigate, Captain Igor Krokhmar, revealed at the ship's entry ceremony that in addition to the "zircon", the "Admiral Gorshkov" was also equipped with "calibre" cruise missiles, air defense systems, torpedo weapons and artillery. He said, "The crew is ready to carry out combat tasks.". Konstantin Sivkov, a doctor of Russian military science, told RIA Novosti that the 22350 "Grand Admiral Gorshkov" frigate equipped with "Zircon" hypersonic missiles could significantly change the balance of power between Russian and Western navies by itself. Sivkov said: "The main significance of this matter is that, with the appearance of the ship in the Northern Fleet, the sea power balance has changed considerably in favor of the Russian navy." He explained that the weapons possessed by Admiral Gorshkov can ensure that even if it is single handed, it can destroy the United States aircraft carrier or multiple warships in the aircraft carrier battle group. "The United States and other countries in the world are very clear that the ship has used 'Zircon' missiles for many times during the test, and everyone knows all about it," added Sivkov. Vladimir Maltsev, chairman of the All Russian Fleet Support Movement, said that the "Grand Admiral Gorshkov", loaded with "Zircon" hypersonic missiles, is the most powerful frigate in the world today. Maldives said that the ship can carry out combat missions anywhere in the world's oceans, and a single ship can fight against a whole fleet.
