Putin says Russia will deploy hypersonic missiles in 'coming months,' surpassing US and China

Washington - President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Moscow will deploy hypersonic weapons at "next month". This will make Kremlin an important step beyond the US and China.

Hypersonic weapons move at least 5 times the speed of sound, or about 1 mile per second. More importantly, the United States is currently unable to resist this threat.

President Putin added a speech at the Sochi 's Black Sea resort forum forum, adding that Moscow' s hypersonic weapons program is ahead of the competition.

A recent announcement was within eight months after President Putin announced that the hypersonic weaponry that is growing in his country is 'invincible' in the national speech. These weapons include nuclear cruising missiles, nuclear underwater spacecraft, and hypersonic missiles.

In his speech, President Putin said, "In the past 15 years we have taken illegal sanctions to promote arms race competition, to win unilateral superiority to Russia, and to suppress our development.

According to sources directly understanding US intelligence reports, out of the six weapons launched by Putin in March, the CNBC said two of these weapons are ready for the war by 2020 I knew that.

Russian leaders also discussed the use of nuclear weapons and said that Moscow would only deploy nuclear weapons in response to attacks.

According to a recent analysis, there are approximately 14,500 nuclear weapons and nine countries that own them. The United States and Russia have the largest nuclear weapons holders in the world, possessing approximately 13,350 total weapons in total.

However, as Russia is preparing to deploy hypersonic missiles not included in existing arms control agreements, China has deployed medium range missiles, and the United States has deployed cruise missiles in Asia.

Russia seems to be considering options for deploying hypersonic systems with nuclear power and traditional construction. Unlike the traditional US global combat (CGPS) program, Russia is developing hypersonic missiles with nuclear warheads. As in China and the United States, Russia has recently developed hypersonic missiles under its 4202 project and the Yu - 71 missile is projected to reach 11,200 kilometers per hour (7,000 miles per hour), very mobile It is. The operation of hypersonic missiles aims to target predictable trajectory of ballistic missiles, allowing projectiles to bypass most missile defense systems.

Some Western experts are skeptical about Putin's supersonic claim. In the speech, President Vladimir Putin called Sarmat, a hypersonic missile distributed by Russia using 200-ton ballistic missiles with multiple hypersonic warheads (in Florida state), Kinsal (dagger) aircraft He said that he is testing. "Test service" started in December 2017 at a speed of over 2,000 km and Mach 10, and tested the mobile intercontinental missiles of "Glider wing" with Avangard, Mach 20 speed
