Russia received information about a hypersonic missile from the administration staff of former US President Barack Obama, current US President Donald Trump said.
Russia has created a hypersonic missile using information obtained in the United States during the presidency of Barack Obama, current President Donald Trump said at a campaign rally in Minnesota that was broadcast on Fox News.
“You know they have a super dumb hypersonic missile; I call it ‘super dumb’ because it has five times the speed of a conventional rocket … But Russia got this information from the Obama administration. Russia stole this information, and they built [ракету]”- said Trump.
He added that the United States now has more powerful weapons.
“The best, the most incredible, unfortunately, the most deadly. We would like to never use it. But we have the biggest weapon in history, “Trump said. He did not specify what weapon he had in mind and did not mention its characteristics, citing the confidentiality of the information.
On March 1, 2018, during a speech to the Federal Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia developed a new hypersonic weapon… According to him, the aircraft’s missile system, “having no world analogues”, was called “Dagger” and from December 1, 2017 began to “perform experimental combat tasks”. In addition, according to the Kremlin chief, serial production of the new Avangard missile system has already started and tests are underway for the Sarmat heavy ICM, which will be equipped with a “wide range of nuclear weapons”. The president of the Russian Federation also spoke about the development of a cruise missile with a nuclear power plant and “virtually unlimited flight range”.
During Putin’s speech, they showed video with test missile launch and animated videos with simulated destruction of conventional targets.
The Russian military plans to “put the Avangard complex into service with Russian missile forces in time,” the Kremlin said on December 26, 2020.
The White House and Pentagon were assured that they were aware of these developments and were fully prepared to guard against any threats. US State Department press secretary Heather Neuert noted that the Russian Federation has violated the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate and Short-Range Missiles since 2014.
