Quote: "The Zircon was designed to strike a range of naval targets (hence the letter M [standing for "morskiy" (naval)] in the missile's name) and to be launched from Russian nuclear-powered submarines and Project 22350 frigates equipped with 3S14 universal vertical launch systems. During the Russia-Ukraine war, facing significant problems in deploying its fleet in the Black Sea, the enemy was forced to adapt 3M22 missiles for launch from Bastion-M coastal defence missile systems."

Details: According to the Ukrainian intelligence agency, the 3M22 has a warhead weighing about 120 kg. DIU described this as an extremely low figure for the most expensive missile among all of Russia's strike weapons. By comparison, it noted that the small Banderol cruise missile carries a 150 kg warhead.
