In this photo taken from undated footage distributed by Russian Defense Ministry Press Service, an intercontinental ballistic missile lifts off from a silo somewhere in Russia. The Russian military said the Avangard hypersonic weapon entered combat duty on Friday. The Kremlin has made modernization of Russia's strategic nuclear forces one of its top priorities.
The Avangard is launched atop an intercontinental ballistic missile, but unlike a regular missile warhead that follows a predictable path after separation it can make sharp maneuvers in the atmosphere en route to target, making it much harder to intercept. The Strategic Missile Forces chief, Gen. Sergei Karakayev, said during the call that the Avangard was put on duty with a unit in the Orenburg region in the southern Ural Mountains.
Putin has said Russia had to develop the Avangard and other prospective weapons systems because of U.S. efforts to develop a missile defense system that he claimed could erode Russia’s nuclear deterrent. Moscow has scoffed at U.S. claims that its missile shield isn’t intended to counter Russia’s massive missile arsenals.
Russian media reports indicated that the Avangard will first be mounted on Soviet-built RS-18B intercontinental ballistic missiles, code-named SS-19 by NATO. It is expected to be fitted to the prospective Sarmat heavy intercontinental ballistic missile after it becomes operational.
KTLA RighthandDevils That's Fucking Fantastic! Yes it's good they can Travel That Fast ! But I Think that Technology Should be Put to BETTER USE! INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BLOW THE SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER!!! JUST SAYING ! THINGS TO MAKE YOU GO HMMM !
Yikes!!
20,709 miles per hour? 😂 lmao. Wtf ever 🙄
That SovietUnion space shuttle ripoff thing STILL scares me! societsarcasmwilldefeattrump
Mach 27, you say, Vlad? Let's see... (using calculator) the speed of sound (or 'Mach 1') is about 762 mph... multiply that by 27.... 20,574 mph. Impressive. But, why do I get the feeling this is Authoritarian propaganda and chest-beating by Putin? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔(because it is)
We have space lasers.
Now for the love of God can we stop the ..we all gunna die from global warming?
Trump did say We are friends with Russia. I don’t remember Putin saying he was friends with America
How long until they spontaneously combust or rust into dust?
At those speeds navigation would be all but impossible, it would have to slow to hit a target at which time it would be vulnerable
And Trump thinks Russia should be allowed in the G7 because he is Putin's puppet.
One very sick individual, obssesed with weapons of mass destruction.
How fast is a that.
Is that not near or even more than escape velocity? If so it would just keep going into space.
“It’s a beautiful world” -deVo
Trump's boss...
cryborg Someone's been watching the Avengers...
That should sufficiently worry the USA. Maybe the arrogance will be reduced with it
27 or 2.7 or 2,7?
putin khuylo
When will my bus travel that fast?
So, who will be the target? Stupid and sick to build and advertising your weapons. Need no longer any weapons to control or scare anybody around. The best weapons would be to produce bulldozers,tractors, cranes, homes, and bridges and United humanity.
And the price of Russian natural gas just became less debatable
Yes, they’re known as rockets since the 60s.....
ACME....A Name You Can Trust😉
Good for world peace ☺☺
hold your horses kids: to reach hyper-speed first got to go super-sonic to go super-sonic need helluva fuel or free fall from ballistic fall and hyper-speed was in development since late 70's. nothing new and way too expensive to build PS: IncredibleIndia India owns it too )
Our president is focused on bigger things like the cutting of his cameo in home alone 2
Bullshit
Ronnie R scared them with Star Wars tech. Part of plan to undo Soviet Union. Now we have Space Division. So Putin has to claim bigger toys. Really scary part is we have Donnie trying to match wits with someone far smarter.
Great Cold War 2?
🗣 The Russian military 🤚 🤚🤚☠️👎☠️👎✈️❓✈️☠️👎✌️✌️✌️🤚👈soyrolo🦁🦁🦁
Russians look to be ahead in the hypersonic stakes. Chinese are also developing such systems; while the Americans appear to be somewhat behind.
Scram jet tech
So when do they get the ‘Doomsday’ weapon on line? Is our world beginning to morph into the movie ‘Dr. Strangelove’? Yes, I think so.
The midget just doesn’t have enough weapons
Then it bursts into flame.
Wasn't it a good move for DT to pull out of the nuclear proliferation treaty? Now Putin can publicly announce this.
BREAKING: prototype found... 😂😂😂
Fortunately, our secret exploding penises fly 1000 times faster than Putin's, are bigger & can circle the Earth millions of times before needing fuel. Plus, our ground penetrating nuclear torpedoes can travel underground to tick beneath Russia. PutinLies
And he scored 5 un-assisted goals.
Oh no Putin and Russia thinks we are scared or frightened 😂 Use them against a NATO country or a nuclear armed state (that’s if they even work) and see what happens. Putin the WMD dictator and Russia are nothing but bullies.
Great. You just know ok Dipshit Donny is going to demand one now 😆
Drums keep pounding rythym to the rain. And the beat goes on.
Irrelevant as long as we have missile carrying submarines silently cruising the seas!
Can’t we just nuke russia and be done with these assholes already?
Ludicrous speed.
I know one person who believes this bullshit
LOL! Might as well say they can magically disintegrate any number of people w the power of Putin’s mind... what a wacko.
Wasn’t the Avangard operational - as in the Russian Army’s arsenal- in 2018?
PROVE IT.
Looks like it runs on diesel.
realDonaldTrump RealTimers SpeakerPelosi Well! Donny! What a good friend. How nice of Vlady giving you a justification from 'Space Force'
So much for all the Nuclear treaties we had with the Russians, looks like they were working behind our backs. No one was watching the Russians back on the farm.
What’s Russia going to do with weaponry like this , attack aliens ? Why would he brag about these weapons? Why not just tell us what you want!
Wonderful, truly.
Or so they say...
I'm surprised Russia has any money left to develop futuristic weapons, given all the billions Putin and his criminal pals have stolen from the Russian people.
And we should all definitely believe them
WeberCM
Suuuuure 😉
Does Russia have a defence against nuclear winter? Yea that's what I thought
They have an economy equal to the state of Texas. Those Russky's must be pretty smart.
KTLA
Americans don't care. Stop spreading Russian bs propaganda.
It will also make the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs.
Okay, but can it play Netflix?
These are real...ICBMs are already hypersonic, but these can “weave”. An engineering feat that the US is still trying to master. BTw they have far superior missle defense systems as well. The field is level now.
Geez if Trump wasn’t under Putin‘s thumb, wouldn’t Trump feel really insecure about this and start tweeting about it?
Nothing from that man’s administration should be given any credence
oldwac1 Skate the opposition away... 🤔🤣😂
This is DISINFORMATION. Both Russia and U.S. have deployed operational radio frequency 'directed energy' cyberweapon grid on sats and celltowers-capable of remote RFDE attacks, even neuromodulation of discreet human targets; see vet journo links:
...while ordinary Russians live in poverty to pay for Putin's toys and his $20 billion personal theft 🙄
Only if they had captured an alien spacecraft and have reverse engineered their technology. Otherwise, no chance!
I’m sure little Donny believes it, but I don’t.
Hypersonic is usually Mach 5+ range, upwards of Mach 24 is usually exceeding in orbital velocity.
Yeah, but can it hit anything?
Prove it...
there was a bomber gap, a missile gap (both turned out to be fictional but useful for appropriations) there is now a hypersonic weapon gap
Well, good. At least the end will be quick.
I highly doubt it. Just more grandstanding to distract from our new aircraft carrier that’s 20yrs ahead of its time.
Sounds legit
Trump will protect us with mean tweets. Oh wait..., it’s Putin. Nevermind.
Glad he’s on our side
This was trending at 9am this morning & ur just now mentioning it. We know. Can’t do anything about it. Stop messing up our night. I have some of those dumb paper masks if you need to come by and pick some up. 😐
Russia remains our ENEMY.
This 'technology' brought to you by the same minds that gave us the SCUD missile. 😂
Russia's hypersonic weapons are light years ahead of us.
🤔
use it or shut up
I believe one exploded in a test lab 2 months ago killing several Russian scientists. They are known to tout fictitious weapons, and their anti-missile systems in Syria failed miserably to shoot down a single Israeli missile during many attacks on Syria. Same when the US attacked
Yippee. Their GDP is the size of Mississippi so at least we know where all their money is going.
I don’t believe it.
*Apocalypse, Now? App* “No self-respecting authoritarian should leave home without it. “ Putin
They have upped their PhotoShop and Premier game it seems...
I'm more worried about Trump's micro penis than Vlad's hypersonic missile.
Avangard : Hypersonic : Bravo
But the vodka
20,709 mph. See how absurd that sounds when put that way?
Here we go. The world is tearing itself up.
DoD press sec: “Lol k”
We killed Putin already. - World Management
WELL whoopty Doo
But we have Donald. We are so screwed folks.
Cool. So they won’t be the first nation to die in a fiery nuclear holocaust. Just the second.
Just like last year bragging on imaginary new weapons
I’m sure the wall will stop it
