“Before the state trials are completed, about 10 more launches of the hypersonic missile are planned to be conducted from two carriers,”

According to the source, the launches will take place in 2020-2021.

“Approximately seven or eight launches against ground and seaborne targets are planned to be performed from the Admiral Gorshkov frigate. Two or three launches will be conducted from the Severodvinsk submarine and at least one of them will be made from the underwater position,” the source said.
