Russia Tests Hypersonic Warhead for Ballistic Missiles

Alwaght | News & Analysis Website

Alwaght-Russian Strategic Missile Forces have successfully tested a new hypersonic glide vehicle designed to breach missile defenses and deliver warheads beyond enemy lines, Interfax reported. The test launch was performed Tuesday using an RS-18A strategic ballistic missile (UR-100N, NATO designation SS-19 Stiletto) from a missile deployment area in the Orenburg Region, the source said, adding that the test was a success. Russia’s Defense Ministry has neither denied nor confirmed the report. All modern nuclear warheads are delivered on targets using ballistic trajectory that can be calculated, therefore such warheads could be intercepted. Hypersonic warheads currently in design would be capable of maneuvering by yaw and pitch, eventually becoming impossible to intercept, thus making any existing and upcoming missile defense system impotent. The new warhead is likely to be readied for the upcoming RS-28 Sarmat heavy liquid-propelled ICBM, which is expected to enter testing later this year. Tests of the new Russian ICBM RS-28 Sarmat, which is meant to replace the outgoing heavy silo-based Soviet R-36M missiles, dubbed “Satan” by NATO, are likely to begin in summer this year. China also recently successfully tested a new long-range ballistic missile capable of engaging any potential target worldwide and hitting the United States within just 30 minutes. The Dongfeng-41 is a Chinese nuclear solid-fueled road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile that can fire six to 10 nuclear multiple independently targetable warheads at a distance of more than 10 thousand kilometers. China newest intercontinental ballistic missile is the world’s longest-range missile. United States imperialism and provocative military maneuvers outside its borders have raised concern globally with other powerful nations modernizing their armaments especially missile defenses to counter Washington's moves.
