The latest missiles will be rolled out in Russia’s fifth generation submarines.
Final testing of the advanced rockets is being conducted with Russian’s defence ministry set to give the green light to the project soon.
Defence experts say the weapon can reach speeds of between five and six times the speed of sound, meaning it could top 4,500mph.
Russia’s Husky-class nuclear submarines, which are still under development, will accommodate the new missiles.
