The Avangard Hypersonic Glide Vehicle:
The development of a future ICBM with a brand-new payload type in the form of a gliding vehicle was the real technological breakthrough. The testing of Avangard has been successfully concluded. According to available information, Avangard can reach the top speed of Mach 20 and is one of the possible payload options for Sarmat.
The warhead can fly in dense layers of the atmosphere over intercontinental distances, while performing evasive dog-legs both horizontally (up to several thousand kilometers) and vertically. Specialists assess that the Avangard has not only an aerodynamic control system but also a propulsion system to be able to perform such maneuvers.
In spite of flying in a plasma cloud, the warhead can receive signals from its command center. It used to be an impossible task, since plasma blocks radio waves. Another challenge that was successfully overcome was the problem of heat insulation. It cannot be ruled out that the Avangard uses new generation high-temperature ceramic composites that use silicon carbide, capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 2,000 C. By mid-March it was announced that the first Avangard carriers would become the UR-100N UTTKh (SS-19 Stiletto) ICBMs that will most likely become part of the RS-24 Yars strategic missile system. About 30 of these missiles were delivered from Ukraine in the early ‘00s to cover natural gas debts. After the Soviet break-up, they were stored un-fueled. Once Sarmat is adopted, it too will carry Avangard warheads. The Russian MOD already signed a contract for serial delivery of Avangards, and they will enter line service in the near future.

Hypersonic glide vehicles deployed after a Sarmat launch cannot be intercepted from the ground by any foreseeable defenses for the next couple of decades. Space based weapons trying to have a birds eye view of the glide vehicles will be destroyed by killer satellites and by ground and air based anti satellite weapons.
Beautiful
That will keep yankees in check, let’s hope it will never be used
Most excellent Comrades ??
Deterrence is gold.
CIA trolls and hasbarats will cry and rage ?
bro I will travel to Hungary at some point. Do you live in Budapest, if yes, so I think we could meet?
You scared him already
Noo i am a good person :) dont worry
because someone I know who has been to Budapest they say the city is cool and I am interested
With all of these arsenals, Russia can easily put the US out of its’ misery. Must congratulate the Russians for their patience and respect for humanity the same wouldn’t be the case if the US had those weapons.
Indeed, the US has the green weapon. The most feared and wanted of all.
Forget it Russians.
No-one’s going to buy your shitty weapons that don’t even work after seeing how you treat your allies in Armenia and Syria and how Russian arms fail to deliver: https://eurasiantimes.com/thanks-to-india-french-dassault-aviation-saw-over-100-rise-in-arms-sale-due-to-export-deliveries-of-rafale-jets/
greeks buy French weapons—already German colony
Well, he’s right. Armenia purchased 12 SU-30, Russia delivered only 4.
French Rafales are better than F-16s. with their EW pods, they are about as undetectable as F-35s.
Germans make the Typhoons in collaboration with the Brits, Italians, and the Spaniards, I believe?
Get your facts straight.
See all the good little monkeys wearing masks? :D
