Avangard

Avangard is a Russian hypersonic glide vehicle designed for strategic nuclear deterrence. Launched atop intercontinental ballistic missiles, it can travel at speeds exceeding Mach 20, making it difficult to intercept. Its unique glide capability allows it to maneuver unpredictably in the atmosphere, enhancing its ability to evade missile defenses. This advanced technology is intended to strengthen Russia’s offensive and deterrent capabilities by delivering nuclear or conventional payloads with high precision at extremely high speeds.
