The first test launch of Russia’s land and sea attack hypersonic missile fired from frigate Admiral Gorshkov has been termed a success.
從護衛艦戈爾什科夫海軍上將發射的俄羅斯陸地和海上攻擊高超音速導彈的首次試射被稱為成功。
The missile traveled at 9 times the speed of sound after launch from a frigate in the Barents Sea and hit a ground target in the test held in January, TASS said quoting two unnamed officials from the North-Western Federal District today.
塔斯社今天援引兩名來自西北聯邦區的官員的話說，導彈從巴倫支海的一艘護衛艦發射後以9倍的音速飛行，並在1月份的測試中擊中了地面目標。
"In accordance with the program of the Tsirkon’s state trials, the Admiral Gorshkov (frigate) test-launched this missile from the Barents Sea against a ground target at one of military testing ranges of the Northern Urals in early January," one of the sources was quoted as saying.
“根據Tsirkon的國家試驗計劃，戈爾什科夫海軍上將(護衛艦)於1月初從巴倫支海向北烏拉爾地區一個軍事試驗場的地面目標試射了這枚導彈，”其中一位消息人士說。
The other source said that "the range of the Tsirkon’s flight exceeded 500 km." The missile has a maximum range of 1000 km, according to its designers.
另一位消息人士說，“Tsirkon的飛行距離超過了500公里。”根據其設計者的說法，這種導彈的最大射程為1000公里。
“After the program of test-launches from the board of the Admiral Gorshkov is over, these missiles will be test-fired from nuclear-powered submarines," the source commented. The missiles will likely form the main strike force of Russia’s ship and submarine force in the decades to come.
消息人士評論說：“戈爾什科夫海軍上將董事會的試射計劃結束後，這些導彈將從核動力潛艇進行試射。”在未來幾十年內，這些導彈可能會成為俄羅斯艦艇和潛艇部隊的主要打擊力量。
The missile’s developer- Research and Production Association of Machine Building -declined to comment, said TASS.
TASS說，導彈的開發商-機械製造研究和生產協會-拒絕置評。
Russian President Vladimir Putin had stated in 2019 that the Tsirkon is capable of Mach 9 speed and its striking range capability can exceed 1,000 km and that there were plans to deploy Tsirkon on warships built for launching Kalibr cruise missiles.
俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·普京曾在2019年表示，Tsirkon有能力達到9馬赫的速度，其打擊距離能力可以超過1000公里，並計劃在為發射Kalibr巡航導彈而建造的軍艦上部署Tsirkon。
The Kalibr cruise missile has been successfully used by Russia in the early days of the battle against the ISIS in Syria. The Tsirkon will ensure that it will stay ahead of the interception capabilities of air defence systems such as the US Patriot for years to come.
在打擊敘利亞ISIS的初期，俄羅斯已經成功地使用了Kalibr巡航導彈。“Tsirkon”將確保它在未來數年內始終領先於“美國愛國者”(US Patriot)等防空系統的攔截能力。
