Russia's hypersonic weapon is now operational
According to reports, Russia's ambitious new Avangard hypersonic weapon
system is now up and running.
Originally announced by Putin back in March 2018, Avangard, which can
propel missiles at speeds of up to Mach 27, has been billed as the first
operational hypersonic weapons system in the world.
Unlike regular intercontinental ballistic missiles which propel their
payloads into low-Earth orbit, Russia's new hypersonic missiles reach a
mere 62 miles above the planet's surface, effectively bypassing
America's ballistic missile defense systems which are designed to target
the former.
The first batch of Avangard-equipped missiles reportedly came online at
a base near Orenburg this week and there are plans to roll them out
elsewhere in the near future.
