Putin prepares new hypersonic ‘meteorite’ missile that can hit any target in world in less than 30 minutes
independent.co.uk: Russia’s defense ministry has announced that the country’s regiment with the hypersonic “Avangard” missile system will be introduced into service.
President Vladimir Putin claimed in 2018 that the intercontinental missile was “invincible” and that the weapon can hit any target on Earth in 30 minutes and at 27 times the speed of sound.
“Another missile regiment will be introduced into service in the Yasny military formation for the anniversary of our Strategic Missile Forces - now with the Avangard missile system,” Russian Strategic Missile Forces commander Sergey Karakayev said last week, according to the News Agency TASS.
The defense ministry said the missile system, reportedly installed in an underground launch silo in the Orenburg region, will increase the combat capabilities of the Strategic Missile Forces.
The latest announcement comes as Russia carried out waves of airstrikes targetting critical infrastructure in Ukraine on Friday.
