Chief of the British Defense Staff Radakin: we must have hypersonic weapons
The chief of the Defense Staff of Great Britain, Tony Radakin, said that the country intends to start developing hypersonic weapons due to the presence of this type of weapons in Russia. He told about it in an interview with The Times newspaper.
"We don't have them (hypersonic missiles - approx. "Tapes.ru"), we must have them," he said, explaining such plans of the country by the growing military power of Russia.
On December 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin said about the salvo launch of hypersonic missiles "Zircon". "The tests were carried out successfully, flawlessly. This is a great event in the life of the country and a significant step in improving Russia's security, in increasing its defense capability," Putin said.
