The strategic missile system with a guided hypersonic warhead “Avangard” is capable of “zeroing” the anti-missile defense (ABM) system being developed in the United States. This was announced by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov in the program “Vesti on Saturday” of the TV channel “Russia 1”.
“When it [the warhead] changes its trajectory, it is impossible to predict when, where it will be at the next moment in time, where to direct the anti-missile. Therefore, it devalues all the efforts that America spends today, first of all, to create an anti-missile defense, ”the official said.
In September, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded the ideologist of the creation of this super-weapon – the Russian designer of rocket and rocket and space technology Herbert Efremov.
The head of state first spoke about Avangard during his address to the Federal Assembly in March 2018. Putin said that the winged warhead of the complex is capable of flying at a speed 20 times higher than the speed of sound, “it goes to the target like a meteorite, like a fireball, the temperature on the surface of the product is 1600-2000 degrees Celsius”, and “the winged block is reliably controlled. “
