"As expected, they (Russia. - RT ) will create no more than 60 of these hypersonic weapons, because they are simply very expensive to develop," the text says.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian army intends by the end of 2019 to put on combat duty three rocket regiments with mobile complexes "Yars" and one - with the complex "Avangard".

A military expert, the captain of the first rank of the reserve, Vasily Dandykin, in an interview with Nation News, called Avangards an invulnerable weapon.
