In a dramatic challenge to the US the Avangard hypersonic rocket is believed to be capable of bypassing America’s missile defence system. It travels at 27 times the speed of sound and can hit almost any point on the planet.
America is also working to develop hypersonic missiles, but is believed to be some way away.
In August defence secretary Mark Esper suggested the US is unlikely to have a working hypersonic missile of its own for a couple of years.
Sergei Shoigu, Russia’s defence secretary, announced the Avangard missile system had entered active service.
Earlier in the year President Putin commented: “It heads to the target like a meteorite, like a fireball.”
