Hypersonic missiles can travel at more than five times the speed of sound.
Russia is aiming to develop its cruise missiles so that they reach hypersonic speeds. Russian weapons manufacturer Tactical Missiles Corporation is developing supersonic cruise missiles used by the Russian Armed Forces, the company's CEO Alexander Leonov, said.
Leonov said his company was looking to"make the missile universal both from the viewpoint of its targets and the launch platform that is used." Earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Chkalov Flight Test Center to inspect a MiG-31 fighter jet armed with the hypersonic Kinzhal, or"dagger", missile.
