Putin scared Western about the missiles "Avangard": what grade is given by experts

However, the F-35 fighters are located near the Russian borders, which by 2023 will be equipped with anti-rocket systems that pose a threat to advanced rocket weapons of the Russian Federation. The Bulgarian Military Viewers told about it on March 15. The Kremlin head declared the advantage of the Avangard intercontinental missile, integrated with the hypersonic glider block, over the large missile defense systems of the United States.

He emphasized the ability of "avant -garde" to bypass the missile defense systems, which allegedly develops a speed of 27 strokes and carries out course maneuvers, which makes it practically impossible to track and intercepts it. Despite the significant opportunities of the Avangard, experts note potential vulnerability in the Russian defense system, including strokes on rocket mines and intercepting in the early stages of starting.

The growing deployment of F-35 fighter jets near Russia's borders is also a threat to Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles (IBR). Profile resources write that theoretically the Avangard complex provides a virtually unlimited range of action. Thus, as a missile accelerator "Avangard" uses the UR-100N UTTH MBR, which removes the supersonic acceleration unit to the desired height and speed. After the acceleration, the rocket goes to the target by a brief trajectory.

This characteristic significantly distinguishes a hypersonic weapon of the type "avant -garde" from traditional IBRs, offering less predictable trajectories of flight and signature after the start, which makes them more complex for detecting, tracking or lesions of anti -rocket defense systems. The computer graphics, accompanying Putin's statement, showed the rocket laying a course from Russia to the Atlantic, flying South American Cape Horn, and then continues to strike for targets in Hawaii.

Meanwhile, the former speaker of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Vladislav Seleznev in 2018 expressed the opinion that experts are skeptical of the possibilities of another Russian weapon in the spirit of "Analogues". "The heat engineers who are aware of the capabilities of metal at high temperatures say that at the speeds declared in the Kremlin, the rocket had to simply collapse. Experts are very skeptical about information about this rocket," Seleznyov says.

The observers also noted that the mention of "avant -garde" occurs at a time when the potential participation of the European military in Ukraine is renewing discussions about nuclear weapons and the balance of power between the West and Russia. We will remind, French President Emmanuel Macron declared his country's willingness to resist any advantage of Russia in the Ukrainian conflict, urging allies not to put up with defeat and to consider "all possible options" to support Ukraine.
