The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been fought for 2 years, and the fighting is still fierce, with heavy casualties on both sides. In the past two years, the United States has continued to exert pressure on Russia, and the United States and NATO have continuously imposed sanctions on Russia.
In addition to gaining superiority on the battlefield, many high-tech weapons were also introduced during this period to "flex muscles" to the United States and the West. For example, its "Avangard" hypersonic missile makes the United States restless.
This missile not only has a range of up to 20,000 kilometers, surpassing the 14,000 kilometers of the DF-41's range, but also has become a "sharp sword" in modern warfare with its flight speed of up to Mach 20.
According to estimates, such a speed means that the "Avangard" missile, in just 15 minutes, can directly hit the heart of the United States from the Russian mainland, posing a serious threat to Washington. The most important thing is that the United States cannot stop it.
After being launched, the "Avangard" missile will quickly break through an altitude of several hundred thousand meters, and then rush out of the atmosphere to carry out precise strikes on targets. It can carry multiple warheads, can flexibly change the flight trajectory during flight, has gliding maneuverability, and has a cruising speed of Mach 20.
Even the most advanced "Patriot" anti-missile system of the United States is difficult to effectively intercept it. Some people believe that any air defense system in the world today is a younger brother in front of it.
As soon as it was launched, the United States led its younger brothers to demand that Russia destroy it, saying that it posed a threat to world security. Destruction is impossible, and Russia gives the response: daydreaming.
Many military experts say that the appearance of this missile will completely change the pattern of modern warfare. Against this background, the United States also has to admit that with the current air defense system, it is simply not possible to effectively intercept the "Vanguard". At present, in the field of hypersonics, Russia has always been in the lead, and the United States still has a lot of room to catch up.
In fact, in addition to the already unveiled "Dagger" and the known "Avangard" hypersonic missile, the Russian "Zircon" has also completed test launches, which can carry out more precise strikes on targets. It can destroy all surface ships, as well as major ground targets, and of course no air defense system can stop it. It can be called a nightmare for American aircraft carriers.
It can be seen that Russia's military industry has a deep background. In the face of sanctions from the United States and the West, coupled with the attrition of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia can still have such achievements, which shows its strong strength in the field of military technology, and at the same time, it also announces the arrival of a new era to the world. All countries need to re-examine their military strategies and defense systems to meet the challenges that may arise in the future.
This is also the reason why, in the 2 years of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States only dared to support weapons and ammunition to Ukraine on the shore, and did not dare to participate in the war in person. Once the US military enters the country, it is a declaration of war on Russia, which is bound to be a world war, followed by a nuclear war. In terms of military affairs, the gap between the United States and Russia is not large, and the nuclear arsenal in Russia's hands is enough to destroy world civilization dozens of times. The United States did not dare to take this risk, because the ending was likely to be played together.
