Although Russia’s economy has been sluggish for years, no country dare to underestimate this huge "polar bear". It has a strong military strength that rivals the United States. It not only has the world’s largest nuclear arsenal, but also a series of Frighteningly advanced weapons and equipment.
As early as 2018, the always domineering Russian President Putin publicly stated in his State of the Union address that Russia has 6 super weapons, namely the Haiyan nuclear-powered cruise missile and the Poseidon submarine (ie Nuclear-powered torpedoes), Salmat intercontinental ballistic missiles, dagger hypersonic missiles, Pelethwaite laser weapons, pioneer hypersonic missiles, and today we are going to introduce the pioneer hypersonic missiles that have been officially in service.
Russia has high hopes for the Pioneer hypersonic missile. Even Russian President Putin praised it. At that time, Putin personally watched the Pioneer hypersonic missile test launch. The screen watched the test firing of the pioneer hypersonic missile. Putin was very excited when he saw the missile flew about 6,000 kilometers and successfully hit the target. He excitedly said: This is the best gift to Russia!
The Pioneer missile can reach a speed of Mach 27 at the fastest. Russian military experts are full of confidence in this, calling it a big killer for Russia against the United States. If you calculate it at the speed of Mach 20 , From Russia to Washington, the Pioneer missile only takes 15 minutes; if the fastest speed is 27 Mach, it only takes 11 minutes. It is true that the United States is the world’s number one military power, but it does not have the power to fight back against Russia’s pioneering hypersonic missiles. This is not bragging. Even US military experts admit this fact. They frankly stated that the US’s current strength would simply intercept them. Can't stop the pioneer missile.
China’s authoritative military expert Du Wenlong once said: Pioneer hypersonic missile is a sharp scalpel that breaks the current U.S. ballistic missile defense system. Today, Russia has already begun to break the U.S. ballistic missile defense system. Very knowledgeable. The "Pioneer" hypersonic assisted gliding missile has three built-in warheads. The flight area is not at the high point of the previous ballistic, but between the low space and the atmosphere. This edge state will make the entire flight trajectory very unpredictable. Attacks with weird ballistics such as falling leaf ballistics and water-floating ballistics, opponents cannot detect, intercept, and effectively damage them. Once a large number of such warheads are loaded on Salmat, Yars missiles, Topol M missiles, Bulava missiles, etc., then the penetration capability of Russian missiles will achieve a leap!
