It was in 2018 that Vladimir Putin took the stage to present Russia's new hypersonic weapons. The term "hypersonic" refers to missiles that fly at speeds of 5 mach and higher. At the time, many in the west dismissed Putin's claims and thought it was a bluff. We now know that he wasn't bluffing. Russia is the only country in the world that has deployment-ready hypersonic missiles - not one but three types: Zircons, Kinzhals and Avantguards. He's wrong about what makes "hypersonic" missiles so special. Regular ballistic missiles already travel at speeds well above Mach 20.
But wait! There's more ...
The main military front in today's global conflict, according to Domazet, are the Anti-Ballistic (ABM) batteries which the US has set up on the Poland-Romania axis, and the Russians on the North Pole-Kaliningrad-Crimea-Syria axis. These are defensive systems, conceived to intercept incoming nuclear missiles (though they can easily be converted to offensive nuclear missiles). However, today's ABM systems are only effective against missiles flying at speeds up to mach 3.5 (3.5 x the speed of sound). The Patriots are already super-effective against ballistic missiles provided to the Houthi thugs by Iran. Those missiles, which are variants of SCUDs, can travel at speeds of Mach 5.

In any case, what makes hypersonic missiles so special isn't the speed at which they travel, but rather their supposed maneuverability.
I would expect a wannabe RuZZian milblogger (and confirmed PooTin cuck) to know stuff like that, but apparently he won't even do basic research, LOL ...
