The Zircon (Graphic courtesy via Russian website.)
I don't know whether the future (late 2020s) Zircon missile proves Russia can solve the heat buildup barrier to sustained hypersonic flight in the dense atmosphere. Maybe it can become hypersonic in its endrun, maybe not.
India has been talking of a joint Russian hypersonic BrahMos-II (or BrahMos-2) missile project (maybe Indian version of the Zircon?) for years. See Submarine Matters' 2013 article.
Russia's latest submarines may become Zircon capable.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3M22_Zircon. There are doubts about Zircon's effectivenes.
