Moscow:
A Russian warship equipped with hypersonic cruise weapons has conducted exercises in the Norwegian Sea, the Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.
“The crew of the frigate ‘Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov’ conducted an air defense exercise in the Norwegian Sea,” the ministry said.
Last week, President Vladimir Putin sent a frigate into the Atlantic Ocean armed with a new generation of hypersonic cruise missiles, a signal to the West that Russia would not back down from the war in Ukraine.
