The Russian avant-garde hypersonic rocket can be accelerated even faster.

As part of the latest official tests conducted by the latest Russian hypersonic Avangard rocket, its speed reached 32-33 thousand km / h, which makes it the fastest of the ever-existing missiles, however, as experts note, in fact, the rocket and its warheads can be speeded up by about 20-30%.

Such conclusions were made based on the fact that, as part of the tests, the temperature on the surface of warheads of the Avangard rocket reached approximately 2 thousand degrees, however, according to the Russian president, modern materials allow the rocket to withstand temperatures up to 3 thousand degrees.

"Combat maneuvering blocks already present a serious problem for any air defense / missile defense system, however, accelerating them to speed in 40 thousand km \ h., They can strike before they can be detected - from 100-kilometer height, they will hit the target on earth in just 8-9 seconds ", - said the analyst Avia.pro.

Experts, in turn, note that to a large extent China approached the Russian Avangard complex, which developed, and according to other sources, tested the DF-17 system, which has a target range of up to 18 thousand kilometers, but is capable of carrying only one warhead
