Says that the new super-heavy ICBM Sarmat missile will soon be deployed... Even with their much bragged about ridiculously massive budget the US remains incapable in the field of hypersonics.
By Tyler Durden: Russian President Vladimir Putin has in fresh statements revealed the
status of Russia's hypersonic and nuclear-capable arsenal within the
context of the Ukraine war.
In early May, Ukraine's military claimed to have intercepted Russian ballistic missiles for the first time in the conflict,
using a US-made anti-air defense system. The Kremlin rejected the
claims, but did confirm it had been using hypersonic missiles within
specific or limited operations and long-range launches.
Putin said Wednesday, as translated in TASS: "About half of the units of Russia’s Strategic Missile Force have been equipped with the latest Yars missile systems and are being rearmed with modern Avangard warheads."
