JAKARTA – Russia showcased its Meteorite Missile which is capable of traveling up to 20,000 mph and cannot be stopped by any air defense system, including Israel’s Iron Dome.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that this weapon, which can carry nuclear warheads, can be launched from outside the Earth’s atmosphere and hit several targets around the world in less than 30 minutes.
Reporting from The Express, Friday (17/11/2023), this missile is believed to be the only one in the world. Putin also warned that Western countries had no way to stop it.
“Avangard cannot be intercepted by any existing or future missile defense means of potential adversaries,” he said.
The Russian Meteorite missile is seen in newly released footage installed inside an underground launch silo in the Orenburg region.
The Russian Defense Ministry said the intercontinental ballistic missile was loaded into the silo launcher using the hydraulic mechanism of a special loading-transport unit. This most complex technological operation lasted for several hours. This missile will automatically increase Russia’s combat capabilities.
In 2018, when this missile was still in development, the then Russian president stated that this missile hit targets like meteorites.
This claim about the greatness of the Meteorite Missile emerged after Ukrainian intelligence reported that Russia’s nuclear missile test was unsuccessful.
It was stated that during the test, the missile deviated from its course. Russia denied the claim and said the launch was successful.
