Rocket-ridden Russian missile threatens to destroy entire cities
The Russian army is in full swing to finalize a weapon with supernatural capabilities, the Avangard, before entering the service.
According to the newspaper "Daily Mail" British, Saturday, a source in the missile project, the weapon will enter the service between the late 2018 and early 2019.
Russian President Vladimir Putin unveiled the new missile with a range of nuclear weapons last March, saying that these weapons, which can not be intercepted, were tested.
Putin said the Avangard missile was immune to missile defense systems that it could not resist because of its 20-speed speed.
According to military reports, the missile is capable of wiping a whole city off the face of the earth, noting that its destructive power is equivalent to two megawatts, that is, it can settle dozens of square kilometers of land and kill millions.
A source in the Russian defense industry told the Tass government that "the period set for the development of the missile in a combat mission is the end of 2019."
The new missile is expected to join the Red Rocket Division, which is based in the southern Ural Mountains, early next year.
It will begin with the deployment of two units of Avangard missiles initially, with the number increasing to six.
Among the weapons discovered by Putin, months ago, a missile "Devil 2", capable of destroying all the major cities in Britain, and can carry 24 Avangard missiles.
