Russia surpassed rivals with precise hypersonic weapons & will deploy more within months – Putin. (VIDEO).
New Avangard hypersonic glider warheads are just months away from entering military service, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, adding that Russia is the first in the world to develop the breakthrough technology. A hypersonic glider is a type of projectile that can fly and maneuver in the upper atmosphere at speeds of over Mach 5. This makes them harder to intercept than regular warheads, which approach the target over a predictable ballistic trajectory. Russia’s variant of the system is called Avangard and will be ready for military service in a few months, according to Putin.
“Responding to the development of anti-ballistic missile systems by the US, we are improving our strike capabilities. Some are already in service, others will be deployed soon,” he said during a Valdai Club session in Sochi. The Avangard deployment will happen “within several months,” Putin said.
LOL, I'm glad others are using memes that I made...even against myself. KEK

if you got it use it, Ivan. I'm sick of waiting for the hammer to fall

>if you got it use it As far as I know Russia has no evil aggressive intentions like your evil country does creating wars all over the World... But I'm sure Russia will answer with very brutal force if provoked and attacked, be assured of that, oh one more other detail, many other countries are itching to join Russia to punch America in the teeth if and when America goes rabbit...
Flying at hypersonic speed poses a number of challenges in material sciences and engineering due to the high temperature and pressure affecting the vehicle. Russia has applied its technologies to develop a hypersonic cruise missile called Kinzhal, already in use with the military. It is presumed to be a countermeasure to aircraft carrier strike groups, the backbone of the US’ ability to project military power worldwide. Putin said Russia is ahead of other nations in terms of hypersonic weapons.
“We know for certain, it’s an obvious fact and our colleagues realize it, that we surpassed all our competitors in this area. Nobody has precise hypersonic weapons. Some plan to test theirs in 18 to 24 months. We have them in service already,” he said.
Avangard and Kinzhal were two of several advanced weapon systems presented by Putin in March as Russia’s response to US failure to address concerns that Washington’s development of ABM technologies undermined Russia’s nuclear deterrence. Another was the Sarmat ICBM which is close to being deployed and is intended to act as the first carrier for Avangard warheads.
Other futuristic weapon systems, which Putin said are in development, include a nuclear-powered cruise missile and a nuclear-powered underwater drone, both based on a miniaturized nuclear reactor. The Russian president also said that a combat laser is being worked on, although what role it is meant to fulfill has yet to be clarified.
Russia getting rid of US dollar matter of national security – Putin. Sanctions are forcing Russia to find alternative settlement currencies to the US dollar to ensure the security of the country's economy, according to President Vladimir Putin. “We are moving to the de-dollarization of the economy. We are doing so not because we want to undermine the dollar, but because we want to ensure our security. We are constantly facing sanctions, they do not give us the opportunity to work in dollars,” Putin said on Thursday at the Valdai Discussion Club meeting in Sochi.
The alternative to the greenback could become a basket of national currencies, an instrument being developed by BRICS countries. “If such tools are invented, it will be possible to get away from the dollar. As soon as this happens, the dollar will have hard times,” Putin said.
If you have an "end of the world" unstoppable weapon you keep it secret. That's BS for russia people. At the end of cold war, US was shocked by the state of art of russian supercavitation torpedos. A game-changer weapon nobody knows about. This is the kind of things who matter.

Take a look at this ...there is/there was 120,024 of them
>A hypersonic glider is a type of projectile that can fly and maneuver in the upper atmosphere at speeds of over Mach 5. its no secret that our mk88 warheads go Mach 12. btfo
