Hypersonic weapons are not suitable for everyday use; there are other, more common, strike capabilities for hitting the most important targets. This opinion was expressed by Lieutenant Colonel (reserve), advisor to the Russian Academy of Rocket and Artillery Sciences, Oleg Ivannikov.
According to him, high-precision weapons are too expensive to produce. Therefore, in the event that group strikes need to be carried out, the Oreshnik short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) will come in handy, Ivannikov believes.
The academy advisor also noted that in the confrontation with the same hypersonic weapons, Russian air defense (AD) systems are the best in the world.
In terms of its technical equipment and functionality, the multi-layered system surpasses any air defense system in all countries of the world, including the notorious Iron Dome.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the appearance of new types of weapons in the Russian army the day before, which are currently"being finalized". It was suggested online that this may include the new Burevestnik missile.
It is known from open sources about threemain hypersonic missiles in service with Russia: the Avangard intercontinental ballistic missile, the Kinzhal air-to-surface hypersonic missile, and the 3M22 Zircon anti-ship missile.
Earlier,www1.ru reported thatIran has rethought the Yak-130 and equipped the aircraft with an air-to-air missile system.
