The Ministry of defense of the Russian Federation has published new data on the flight speed of the hypersonic unit of the Avangard missile system. According to the military, it accelerates to Mach 28 (the speed of sound is approximately equal to 7.5 kilometers per second).

According to the document entitled "the Main results of the activities of the Armed forces of the Russian Federation in 2012-2020", at different heights from the Ground, the speed indicator of the "Vanguard" will be different, since the air at the surface is denser than at altitude. RIA Novosti notes that at the earth's surface, one Mach is 340 meters per second.

Earlier, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Yuri Borisov, who oversees the military-industrial unit, reported that the Avangard gained speed of about 27 Mach during the tests.

It is worth Recalling that the Russian strategic forces (RVSN) we have already received 4 strategic missile systems "Avangard".

The first regiment, armed with the Avangard missile system, went on combat duty in the Orenburg missile division in December 2019. Defense Minister General of the army Sergei Shoigu said that the Orenburg missile division will prepare the infrastructure for the deployment of two more "Vanguards".

Last Monday, at the final Board of the defense Ministry, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about plans to transfer the Avangard hypersonic complex from Stiletto missiles to advanced missile systems.

On the eve of the American edition of the National Interest reported that the United States, like any other country in the world, does not have the ability to intercept the Russian hypersonic complex "Avangard".
