Russia has deployed its first nuclear-capable hypersonic boost glide vehicle (HGV).

The Russian defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, told Putin that the first missile unit equipped with the Avangard had entered combat duty.
Mr. Shoigu said during a conference call with top military leaders,
“I congratulate you on this landmark event for the military and the entire nation.”

Chief of the strategic missile forces, Gen Sergei Karakaev, said during the call that the Avangard had been put on duty with a unit in the Orenburg region in the southern Ural mountains.

President Vladimir Putin stated that it puts his country in a class of its own.

He described the Avangard, which can fly at 27 times the speed of sound, as a technological breakthrough comparable to the 1957 Soviet launch of the first satellite.
Putin has said that Russia’s new generation of nuclear weapons can hit almost any point in the world and evade a US-built missile shield.

The development has the potential to step up a new arms race.
