British Defense Chief of Staff Radakin said London is ready to create hypersonic missiles

"We do not have them (hypersonic missiles. -

), we must have them," Radakin said.

According to him, Britain's goal is to develop weapons "in order to compete with the growing military power of Russia."

Radakin also said that he had provided the British government with scenarios for a military response in the event of an allegedly possible Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Earlier, Radakin had a telephone conversation with the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov.

The parties discussed topical issues of global and regional security and agreed on the importance of maintaining bilateral contacts.
