Russia Deployed Deadliest Hypersonic Missile Avangard | 27 Times faster than the Speed of Sound

Описание: The Avangard is a nuclear-capable, hypersonic boost-glide vehicle developed by the Russian Federation.

It was one of six “next generation” weapons described by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a speech in March 2018.

One TASS report said that the HGV’s nuclear warhead is “more than 2 megatons in TNT equivalent.

As a boost-glide weapon, the Avangard is carried to its apogee by a ballistic missile.

As it approaches its target, the Avangard glide vehicle detaches from the rocket and is able to maneuver sharply outside the trajectory of the rocket at hypersonic speeds of up to 27 times the speed of sound (about 21,000 miles per hour or 34,000 kilometers per hour).

Once boosted to its suborbital apogee of around 100 km, the glide vehicle separates from its rocket.

It then cruises down towards its target through the atmosphere.

In his March 2018 speech, Vladimir Putin claimed the HGV can maintain atmospheric speeds of up to Mach 20 (6.28 km/s) and can maneuver.

This maneuverability could make Avangard’s trajectory unpredictable, complicating intercept attempts after its boost phase.

In March 2018, President Putin said the Avangard HGV had already entered serial production.

In December 2018, Russia’s President Putin said his country would deploy the first Avangard regiment in 2019.
