Russia tested its newest hypersonic intercontinental nuclear missile today, the Avangard system. The first and most recent test occurred in 2015 before it entered service in 2019.

News from all over the middle east reached the internet of a strange flying object in the sky. They saw the (hopefully empty) warhead of the Avangard.

Different to conventional ICBMs this next generation hypersonic missile maneuvers once in the final stage at speeds of 20.000 mph/37.000 kmh, arguably able to avoid all known air defense systems.

Footage released 15 minutes ago by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
