Russia is speeding up the manufacturing of the most destructive weapons to combat the US and its allies, according to deputy chairman of the security council Medvedev.
“The adversary is entrenched not only in Kiev but also throughout much of Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, and other regions. We are accelerating the development of the most potent weapons of mass destruction, even those that are based on novel concepts, because of this “Dmitry Medvedev, the vice president of the Russian Security Council, sent a message today. Mr. Medvedev made no specific mention of these weapons.
The term “new principle,” which includes hypersonic missiles, is used to describe weapons created using phenomena and principles that have never been used for military objectives, according to Russian media reports from the past.
Since 2019, Russia has been using the Avangard hypersonic glider warheads, which can travel at a speed of around 33,000 km/h (27 times the speed of sound) and have a range of 6,000 kilometres.
The RS-28 Sarmat is an 18,000 km long intercontinental ballistic missile that Russia is also developing. It has numerous features that allow it to get past an adversary’s missile defence system. The Russian army will get a total of 46 Sarmat missile systems; the first one is anticipated to join a regiment in the Krasnoyarsk area this year.
The Russian nuclear triad is continuously being enhanced, according to President Vladimir Putin’s statement from last week. “Rosatom, the Russian National Atomic Energy Corporation, has developed and deployed numerous cutting-edge military systems, making significant contributions to enhancing deterrence capabilities. Many of these weapons are unavailable; in comparison to global competitors, “added he.
