On December 12, local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on the Russian Channel One TV program that Russia and the United States maintain a balance of power in nuclear weapons, but Russia maintains a leading position in the field of new weapons.
Putin stated that Russia has a great advantage in the field of hypersonic weapons. The Russian army has officially installed hypersonic weapons and these weapons have entered combat duty.
Putin believes that the militaries of other countries will soon also have hypersonic weapons, but by then Russia is likely to have developed the technology to restrain hypersonic weapons.
