Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday took part in the commissioning ceremony for the Admiral Gorshkov frigate, which is equipped with a hypersonic Zircon sea-based cruise missile system, TASS news agency reported.
The frigate will go on a trip across the Atlantic and Indian oceans and the Mediterranean Sea, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said during the videoconference.
Putin said the frigate will protect the country from potential external threats.
"It has no analogs in any country in the world," Putin said. "I am sure that such powerful weapons will reliably protect Russia from potential external threats and will help ensure the national interests of our country."
The crew of the multi-purpose frigate is ready to perform combat service tasks, Captain of the first rank Igor Krokhmal said.
