During Navy Day celebrations on Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the navy would receive hypersonic Zircon cruise missiles in the upcoming months, noting that the deployment of these missiles will depend on Russian interests.

Addressing the Russian people in St. Petersburg, Putin made no mention of Ukraine, taking the time to commend Tsar Peter the Great for developing Russia's maritime capabilities and making it a world power in this realm.

⚓️ Today Russia celebrates #NavyDay, July 31, by tradition on the last Sunday of this summer month.

For 3️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ years the Navy safeguarded our nation's interests and borders.

"The delivery of these (missiles) to the Russian armed forces will start in the coming months," Putin said. "The Admiral Gorshkov frigate will be the first to go on combat duty with these formidable weapons on board."
