Russian hypersonic weapons surpass similar American models. This point of view was presented by Andrey Kolesnik, a member of the State Duma Defense Committee.
According to him, in the United States, such technologies are still in the development stage.
We are not standing still, we are ahead very decently, I think it will continue like this. This gives us a colossal advantage: we are talking about missiles that cannot be intercepted - they reach their targets, bypassing all obstacles.
Supersonic and hypersonic speeds are considered to be the speeds of aircraft that exceed the speed of sound in the atmosphere - about 340 m/s at normal temperature and pressure, or the Mach number (M), equal to 1.
It is generally accepted that supersonic speeds are in the range of 1-4.5 M, and hypersonic speeds are more than 4.5 M. Creating a device capable of long-term flight in the atmosphere at a speed many times greater than the speed of sound is a complex technical, scientific and technological task.
The day before, the head of the Rostec State Corporation, Sergey Chemezov,reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the solution of tasks to strengthen the country's technological sovereignty, including the defense sector.
