American military intelligence expert called Russia the only country in the world with strategic hypersonic systems

Currently, only the Russian Federation has strategic hypersonic systems in the world. This was announced by the leading expert on science and technology of US military intelligence, Paul Freistler, speaking at a hearing in the US Congress.

According to the analyst, in 2018 the Avangard system reached its initial operational capabilities. Now it is the only strategic hypersonic complex in the world. Freistler added that potential US adversaries, including Russia and apparently China, are in the process of creating a strategic weaponscapable of threatening the United States.



Freitschler called the goal of developing and producing hypersonic missiles the desire to avoid US missile defense systems. Accordingly, despite the capabilities of American missile defense systems, such missiles pose a threat to the security of the United States, the expert believes.

Recall that the Yasnenskaya Missile Division of the Strategic Missile Forces of the RF Armed Forces includes a regiment armed with a strategic missile system with the Avangard hypersonic glide wing.

In 2023, the second regiment will take up combat duty, armed with intercontinental ballistic missiles with the Avangard hypersonic unit. Thus, Russia already has two regiments of hypersonic missiles this year, while the United States does not yet have such weapons at all. Despite the financial and technical capabilities, the United States is still not able to create such missiles.

    In this case, the American is right. And they should accept it and think about it. By the way, a couple of days ago it was applicable for stubborn people. Not "Vanguard", of course, but the goal was achieved

      The point is not only in armament, etc. Russia's historical mission has always been to kill the "exceptional" and break their backs ..
      Oh, and I so want to live peacefully, so that we don’t owe anything to anyone And so that we just sneeze and the whole world shudders laughing angry
      Eh Russia, again we are concentrating and our allies Only two !!!!
      The crusade began 50 NATO countries with their economic and military power oppose us .. We are forced to defend ourselves and the hand of a Russian officer will not flinch when entering the code and pressing the start button ..
      Once again, we won’t survive the 90s already, it’s better that way negative

        And they didn't feel that way. We will survive this power. You don’t want to live yourself, don’t drag others to the grave with you. They promised a quick walk, but it turns out the road to the next world. It got really bad, but it was his own fault.

          True vergo, I agree with you. Let him drag himself into the grave and others like him with one-sided thinking. Creation is prosperity. And what does the war bring???

    And they are waiting in the wings: you still need to experience it. When the Yankees see a crater 60 meters deep at the site of Zelensky's bunker, they will unwittingly try on this blanket for themselves...

    Poor, unfortunate Americans, they are threatened from all sides, so they are forced to maintain their bases all over the planet. I go to bed - I cry, I wake up - I cry, I feel sorry for them.

      The thing is that the States have become a kind of "ram", a tool in the hands of the world government. Here we can recall the committee of 300, the Bilderberg club and so on. And they will not leave us behind, because as soon as Russia has a "world pantry" left that is inaccessible to these jackals. China blocks their oxygen in the Asia-Pacific region. We are in besieged fortress mode. They can no longer do anything with the PRC, only by military means to undermine their economy, etc. With us, there is hope that bad boys will sell the country for a barrel of jam and a basket of cookies. That is why they adopted the concept of the "Trojan horse". But he still does not live up to expectations. but they work with our "non-systemic opposition", they have only one way: by bribing the "elites" to destroy our state. They will not go to an open war, knowing how it will end for them. But to undermine economically (sanctions), to loosen and wear down in regional conflicts along the perimeter of the Russian Federation - this is always welcome! And the Ukrainians were the first to fall for their Judaic promises, declaring Russia and everything Russian their enemies.
      And we need the Vanguards as insurance against their military fantasies about the weakness of the Russian Federation.
      IMHO.

        Maybe, although on the other hand they can easily buy any "wealth from the pantry" for their candy wrappers, so it's unlikely ...

        They have a good example of successful work - the collapse of the Union and the 90s. Apparently they decided "we can repeat"

    "Vanguard" is, let's say, the top of the mountain, and the base is an air defense-missile defense system capable of shooting down hyper sound. And this is already a shield and a sword.

      The Avangard hypersonic maneuvering unit is an "implementation at a new technological level" of the Soviet project of the Spiral space fighter.

    Theoretically, they are capable of shooting down hypersound, the problems of selecting false targets, no one has canceled jamming, in any case, no air defense-missile defense system will help with a massive launch of ICBMs. 10-15% of the intercepted warheads will not make a difference, and we and they understand this, so let's hope that all strategic things will remain expensive toys. Only clinical psychos can really wish that the Strategic Missile Forces showed themselves in a real war.

    There is an opinion that the confrontation between the Department of Internal Affairs and NATO did not enter the hot phase because the people in power were mostly people who sniffed gunpowder and understood what war was, not to mention nuclear. To talk about how cool such funnels are comfortably sitting in the warmth, clattering on the keys of the keyboard or sticking into a smartphone, and imagine yourself a ghost rummaging through a frozen city in search of at least something to devour weakly?

    We have had such modern super-efficient weapons for a long time, and the Kiev regime has been for more than a year, how can it not fall into the trash with Zelenka?
    Cheek puffing has been effective since the days of Ostap Bender and Kisa Vorobyaninov.

    - As usual: "The best in the world" ... "There are no analogues" ... - A balm for the soul of uplifting. But to oppose the "Himers" with something - they tried to do something ...? Or at international exhibitions they only tried to sell "their own" ... without being interested in what the potential enemy achieved? ... And the production of quadrocopters was just considered "small things", unworthy of a great power ...? So we got on the battlefield - what we have ...

      That's what war is for, to change, to draw conclusions. But wars themselves are constantly changing. What will happen tomorrow, no one really knows.
