Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday his country is the only one in the world to deploy hypersonic weapons
“Not a single country has hypersonic weapons, let alone hypersonic weapons of intercontinental range.”
Asked to comment on Putin’s remarks, a spokesman for the U.S. Defense Department, Lt. Col. Robert Carver, said Tuesday in an email, “We have seen the reporting but have nothing to add concerning Russia’s claims.” Putin said then that the Avangard has an intercontinental range and can fly in the atmosphere at a speed 20 times the speed of sound. He noted that the weapon’s ability to change both its course and its altitude en route to a target makes it immune to interception by the the enemy.
