“It will appear. But I think that we will be able to pleasantly surprise our partners with the fact that when they have this weapon, it is very likely that we will have a means of combating this weapon, ”the head of state Vesti quotes.
At present, no one can counteract hypersonic missiles, Putin added: “Speeds are such that it is impossible to take them.”
“This is the uniqueness of our current situation. I repeat once again: with a high degree of probability we will have a means of combating hypersonic weapons by the time that the leading countries of the world have this very hypersonic weapon, ”Putin emphasized.
Earlier, the Russian leader promised to continue to equip all types of troops with the latest types of weapons and equipment, including laser and hypersonic systems.
In December 2019, Putin noted that Russia is ahead of other countries in terms of the development of advanced weapons - no one else has hypersonic weapons in the world.
