warhead is both nuclear and conventional, and can not only strike fixed targets but also mobile targets such as large ships at sea. This missile not only has a shorter range than the 3M14 cruise missile, but also has stronger penetration capability and strike power than the 3M14 missile. ...
Yasen-class submarines, otherwise known as Project 885M, are nuclear-powered cruise missile submarines designed to replace Soviet-era nuclear attack submarines. The sea-based Zircon hypersonic missiles have a range of 900 km (560 miles), and can travel at several times the speed of sound, makin...
