Russian hyper sonic glide in test flight
Russia is looking to stay ahead of the West in hypersonic weapons, according to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov.
According to an interview reported by TASS, Borisov stated after several years of development, Russia is the superior power regarding hypersonic weapons, “for the first time in all this time.”
According to the official, Russian hypersonic weapons utilize new types of engines and source their power from “compact low-power nuclear power plants.”
Borisov believes that Russia currently has “a serious advantage in this regard over Western states,” and with that, the country intends to “try to preserve this advantage.”
“[Russian weapons] comply with the main weapon and military vehicles development trends, as they move towards precision weapons, unmanned systems, and robotization,” Borisov added.
