As the world war 3 keep coming close, both US and Russia have develop high range of weapons which iis capable of hitting far tagets

Russia says it tested a new hypersonic glide vehicle this week. President Vladimir Putin observed the test. He declared that the vehicle cannot be stopped and will guarantee his country’s security for many years.

Putin spoke of the successful test of the weapon Wednesday during a visit to the defense ministry in Moscow.





The following day, the U.S. Department of Defense reacted to the Russian announcement.

“While the United States has been the world leader in hypersonic system research for many decades, we did not choose to weaponize it,” said a department official, Lieutenant Colonel Michelle Baldanza.

She added that the decision to make hypersonic weapons creates an imbalance that the department must deal with. She said the United States was considering “options” to answer the new weapons.

The hypersonic glide vehicle described by Putin is called the Avangard. It was tested on December 26 at the Dombarovskiy missile base in the southern Ural Mountains. Russian officials said the missile successfully hit a target in Kamchatka, about 6,000 kilometers away to the east.

The new weapon is called hypersonic because of its extremely high speed. It travels as fast as several times the speed of sound.





Putin called the test an “excellent New Year’s gift to the nation.”

His announcement comes at a time when relations between Russia and the United States are tense. Conflicts in Syria and Ukraine, as well as reports of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections have tested relations. Some observers say ties between the two sides are at their worst since the period known as the Cold War.

A rocket lifts the Avangard to a great height. The missile then glides back to Earth at speeds many times faster than sound.

U.S. Defense officials were not surprised by the announcement of the test. In a speech to Russians on March 1, Putin described a group of new weapons that, he said, could make others “useless.”

Among the weapons he spoke about were new nuclear weapons, including cruise missiles and underwater drones.

In his latest announcement, Putin said the Avangard is designed from composite materials. He also said it is able to resist temperatures of up to 2,000 degrees Celsius.

Putin said the Avangard would be ready by as early as 2019. It is not clear if it is able to carry a nuclear weapon.

Russia takes the lead as usual. End of story.

Russia takes the lead as usual. End of story.

US was already a leader in hypersonic technology but did not weaponize it.

In just 6 months, US will weaponize theirs.

They are leading in hypersonic system research and yet they use Russian engines to travel to space. They are the best in missile technologies and yet they are always sending spies to Russia to get the secret of their missile technologies.


In 2000, former U.S. Naval intelligence officer and an alleged Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) spy Edmond Pope (Captain, USN, retired) was held, tried, and convicted in Russia of espionage related to information he obtained about the Shkval weapon system. Russian President Vladimir Putin pardoned Pope in December 2000 on humanitarian grounds because he had bone cancer.

Shut up your stinking mouth and read this good news!

Amerika was leading in hypersonic technology but did not weaponize it - yet she keeps making enemies in every Continent, destroying Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Venezuela and then violating the territorial waters of China, Iran, North Korea & Russia in the name of Freedom of Navigation and then conducting military exercises at their borders?

Ogun in collabo with Sango will decapitate Amerika including all those that believe in her useless Democracy.

Why America Should Fear Russia's New Avangard Hypersonic Weapon: "We Don't Have Any Defense"

Avangard, also known as “Objekt 4202,” is a hypersonic boost-glide missile system that is supposed to combine a high-performance ballistic missile with an unmanned glider vehicle for significant improvements in maneuverability and sustained top speed.

This technology allows Avangard missiles to travel at up to 20 Mach or approximately 24,700 km per hour, a speed made possible by the use of “new composite materials” to stay within a stable range of 1,600 to 2,000 degrees celsius.

The Avangard is invulnerable to intercept by any existing and prospective missile defense means of the potential adversary.

As it stands, U.S. military experts offer a grim assessment of America’s ability to intercept such a missile: “We don’t have any defense that could deny the employment of such a weapon against us,” said US Air Force General John E. Hyten, the Commander of US Strategic Command.

It should be noted that, for a weapon with potential capabilities as devastating as the nuclear-capable Avangard system, even a relatively optimistic interception rate of, say, 50% still would pose an unacceptable risk.

Hahahahahaaaaa! I am very very happy.

Nice one from Russia . The wings of the American bastards must be clipped. If Russia and China are not keeping the US at bay, the world would have turned to breeding ground for terrorists.

Nice one from Russia

In 6 months time when the US will have weaponized theirs, you will come here and complain.

You are talking as if the technology is known to the Russians alone.
