Currently, Russia is the only country in the world armed with strategic hypersonic missile systems, said Paul Freistler, a leading specialist in science and technology at the US Military Intelligence Agency. His statement is reported by RIA Novosti .

According to him, the Russian Avangard system "reached its initial operational capabilities in 2018 and is the only strategic hypersonic system deployed in the world."

Freistler added that Washington's competitors are "developing capabilities that will be able to keep the United States at risk." "Hypersonic missiles are designed to avoid sensors and defense systems of the United States, pose a threat," the expert said.

Earlier in March, TASS, citing a source close to the Russian Defense Ministry, reported that the second missile regiment will be fully equipped with Avangard hypersonic complexes by 2025.

In January, Alexander Chemusov, Deputy Head of the Peter the Great Strategic Missile Forces Military Academy for Armament, said at the XLVII Academic Readings on Cosmonautics [...] that the Russian Avangard missile system with a hypersonic gliding unit was a breakthrough.
