Первый полк, вооруженный новейшим ракетным комплексом стратегического назначения с гиперзвуковым планирующим крылатым боевым блоком "Авангард" заступил на боевое дежурство.
Источник "Авангард" - это оружие, которое не имеет аналогов в мире.
"Авангард" может преодолеть любые системы ПРО.
Дислокация полка, на вооружение которого поступил “Авангард,” не раскрывается, но скорее всего это Урал.
Russia's first regiment of Avangard hypersonic missiles has been put into service, the defence ministry says.
The location was not given, although officials had earlier indicated they would be deployed in the Urals.
President Vladimir Putin has said the nuclear-capable missiles can travel more than 20 times the speed of sound and put Russia ahead of other nations.
They have a "glide system" that affords great manoeuvrability and could make them impossible to defend against.
Mr Putin said on Tuesday the Avangard system could penetrate current and future missile defence systems, adding: "Not a single country possesses hypersonic weapons, let alone continental-range hypersonic weapons."
The West and other nations were "playing catch-up with us", he said.
