So with KH-95 Russia has 4 known hypersonic cruise missiles:
Zirkon surface and Submarine launched
Gremlin for the weapons bays of SU-57, and for SU-30, SU-35, LTS, S-70.
"Sharpeners" for the weapons bays of TU-22M3M, SU-34 (TU-95?)
Kh-95 for the weapons bays of PAK-DA and TU-160M2 and can be also used in the external pylons of the TU-22M3M
Kh-95 should be more than 10 meters
Gremlin 4.2 Mt
Sharpeners ~6mt
My 2 cents

If accurate expect tantrums from the US because they will claim they were promised that no long range missiles would be carried by the Backfire... but then it is about time the Russians stopped being so accommodating... full IFR probe and lots of missiles I say...

Russia arrests top hypersonic research scientist in treason.
MOSCOW, Aug 12 (Reuters) - A Russian court on Thursday ordered a 73-year-old leading specialist in hypersonic technology to be held in custody for two months on suspicion of state treason, the latest in a series of such cases. Security officers arrested the suspect, Alexander Kuranov, general director of the St Petersburg-based Hypersonic Systems Research Facility, in Moscow, state news agency TASS cited a law enforcement source as saying. Kuranov oversaw work on the concept for a new hypersonic aircraft dubbed Ayaks that dates back to the Soviet era, according to his facility's website. Hypersonic technology allows objects to travel much faster than the speed of sound. Russia, whose ties with the West have deteriorated to post-Cold War lows since 2014, has been developing a number of hypersonic weapons in recent years that President Vladimir Putin has touted as unparalleled and lavished praise on. The detainee is suspected of passing secret information to a foreign citizen about hypersonic technology research that he had worked on for a long time, Interfax news agency cited an unnamed source as saying. Treason and espionage cases are usually held behind closed doors in Russia and case details seldom come to light because of their classified nature. The court released footage of the detainee being led to the hearing in a tracksuit and hoodie pulled low over his face. He wore a face mask and his face could barely be seen. A lawyer for Kuranov could not immediately be reached for comment. State treason is punishable by up to 20 years in jail. That sentence was handed down to an aviation lecturer from Moscow in April after he was found guilty of illegally exporting technology or technical information. read more A number of Russian scientists, soldiers and officials have been charged with treason in recent years after being accused of passing sensitive material to foreign countries. Critics of the Kremlin say the charges are often unfounded and cannot be scrutinised because they are classified. wrote:

One issue with boost-glide systems is that as they descend, they lose velocity as they encounter atmospheric drag. White said there are concepts that combine the two approaches.
“There’s this prospect of blending it. There are concepts where you have very large hypersonic boost-glide systems that have a scramjet so you want to try to minimize that reduction in velocity, and get very, very long ranges,” he said.
Mike White, principal director for hypersonics in the office of the undersecretary of defense for research and engineering

This is actually kinda funny.
All Murica can achieve, is bribing a guy who is in retirement age, and hardly believe has any clue about modern Russian tech.
He is out of the line for 5+ years, and let's be realistic, nobody grants any serious projects on hand of someone who will retire any moment.
He might remember some work done in 80s. 40 years ago
Still, the knowledge of a grandpa reached is SU times, is still in the interest of mighty Murica
Would be tragic, if not so funny

According to Izvestia's sources in the military department and the defense industry, OAO NIPGS had nothing to do with the creation of hypersonic combat systems. His work was indirectly related to the combat hypersound program.

The institution own page said Mr.Kuranov is the CEO. So I think he gotta has something meaningful to offer.
http://en.hypersonics.ru/hypersonic-systems-research-institute
IMO the NIPGS institution may not directly involve in hypersonic weapon development as izvestia.ru has reported.
However, their research may useful to the development of such things.
May be what he sold is a dead end for buyer, or may be it will initiate "Ufimtsev effect" on western hypersonic development. Who knows.

Situation is a bit different and probably worse than what revealed.
It is obviously good that those events are stoped in the initial stages of theirs development ,but none can assure that very sensible technical informations were not passed to over ocean collagues aiding them in overcome the huge technological gap they are trapped in.
The analysis of the arrests for treason of several high level scientists (Анатолий Губанов in December 2020 and Валерий Голубкин in April 2021) in the last year and theirs area of expertise provide a clear hint of the very precise aim of foreign services.
ОАО «НИПГС» is anything except a scientific research company versed in comm link.....a quick look of theirs pasted program can provide an hint of what mean "indirectly related" to the combat hypersound program

Since Russia is no longer bound by foreign laws after 2020, it should return the death penalty for treason.
If these worms want to sell out to NATzO for a few silvers they should risk their hides.

I still can't make heads over tails of what this company does. So they did research work for hypersonic engines?
It's funny how there isn't anyone here giving a direct answer either which indicates no one knows what they do.
But the guy must have some info, enough to get him arrested. Now I wonder what he passed on and if it was that important or not. As I'm aware, rostec was the one handling hypersonic tech in Russia that's been the most revealed. Now is this company part of rostec?

Russia will increase the speed and range of hypersonic missiles, said Shoigu, 29/08/2021.
Shoigu: Russia is working to increase the range and accuracy of its hypersonic missiles.
PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, August 29 - RIA Novosti. Russia is working to increase the speed, range and accuracy of its hypersonic missiles, said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
"We have an increase in the range of hypersonic weapons in the future. This is an increase in speeds, if we talk about the same hypersound, this is an increase in accuracy, this, of course, is the adaptation of carriers to new types of weapons," Shoigu said in an interview for the YouTube channel "Soloviev Live " , the footage of which was shown on the air of the TV channel" Russia 1 "and on the platform " LOOK".
Clarifying about the adaptation of missiles to different carriers, the minister said that it is necessary to create one launcher of hypersonic missiles for the entire line of technology. "This work is underway, and today we already have not something to show, we have something to protect the country with," he added.
The minister recalled that the Russian Armed Forces already have hypersonic Kinzhal missiles on alert, which are installed on MiG-31K fighters , and the Avangard strategic missile systems with a hypersonic gliding unit are on alert.

Russia seems particularly ahead of the game as far as scramjet tech goes as well as using the ionized cloud to hide the craft as well as use the same sheath to somehow recieve and transmit data. Also way ahead concerning hypersonic glide bodies. Both the western world and China want this data. There is so little out there concerning this stuff especially how communication is kept at deep hypersonic speed.

"In our business, stopping is tantamount to losing."
When our partners and adversaries can create something like the Zircon, the Tactical Missiles Corporation, one of the creators of this hypersonic missile, will go far ahead.
This means that by 2024-2025, when competitors achieve certain results in their developments, Russia will take a few more steps forward. In any case, we are not going to stop there. In the production of weapons, as in any other serious production, there is only one law - if it stopped, it means lost.

Russia Will Soon Have New Hypersonic Missile With Maximum Speed of Mach 9, Putin Says, 30/11/2021.
Earlier in November, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that tests of the Zircon hypersonic missiles are almost completed.
Vladimir Putin said that the hypersonic weapon with maximum speed of Mach 9 will appear in Russia in the near future.

The world was astounded by a Russian successful launch of hyper-sonic missiles. It was a true breakthrough that should have frightened the West, the US in particular. All the Pentagon did was yawn and stated they'd earmark 1 billion (spare change in the defense industry) for research. Why? You'd think it would be a sputnik moment for the US and created a full-on drive to catch up.
The Pentagon showed no interest in Russia breakthrough hyper-sonic missile. Mainly because they'd already developed anti-gravity aircraft capable of astounding speeds of 30,000 to 40,000 mph. Capable of sudden right angle turns or instant full stops. Can you imagine if a missile were weightless upon launch? Time-to-target would be measured in mere seconds. When launched it would seem as if the missile vanished because it took off so fast – there would be nothing to see.
I ran across a video of a UFO type object flying around Hong Kong buildings. It was not aerodynamic but round with small rockets on the sides. It flew to the top of a building then, with tremendous speed, went straight up.
Next, I came across a video (see link) of a UFO type object flying over a Denver suburb. It was the same type of UFO as seen in the Hong Kong video with the rockets on the sides to propel it. The media crew were lucky and were filming background videos and caught the craft by accident. It moved so fast it was barely visible. Evidently this same Chinese inventor had emigrated to the US and was flying his prototype craft on his lunch hour. There was even a video of it landing among the suburban homes. A Chinese Engineer from Hong Kong was the inventor.
No doubt the FBI soon paid this inventor a visit.

US cannot build a miniaturized supersonic rocket.
They are lagging behind and have subsonic missiles only.
Their ARRW missile cannot detach from B52, and their Dark Eagle missile is an Sm3 with glider on top.
They are at least 10 to 15 years from fielding the first fully powered scramjet missile
