The United States will continue to invest in hypersonic weapons, despite problems in their development, "said Russian military expert Igor Korotchenko in a comment to VZGLYAD newspaper after the Pentagon had previously questioned the appropriateness of spending on supersonic weapons.
"There should be no doubt that the Americans will sooner or later eliminate the temporary difference with Russia in terms of hypersound. "Our foreign intelligence agencies clearly report this to the country's political leadership," said the newspaper's interlocutor, who is also the editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine.
He called on the Russians to "soberly assess the enemy" and stressed that the Russian military leadership was working ahead. Therefore, if the Pentagon uses hypersonic systems against Russia in the future, the strike will be reflected by a special "shield" of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS). "As soon as the United States receives its own means of destruction using hypersonic technology, we will receive the fifth-generation S-500 air defense systems," he said.
"To date, their mass production has already started. "They are able to deal effectively with American hypersonic strike systems in the event of an attack on Russia," he said.
"But I repeat: in terms of the development of hypersonic, the Americans will be fine, their weapons will be successful. And there is no need to draw far-reaching conclusions about what a particular official said there, "Korotchenko added.
