Vladimir Putin has readied his hypersonic Avangard missile for launch in a fresh nuclear threat to the West.
Footage shows the lethal weapon, which can hit targets at 27 times the speed of sound, being installed in an underground launch silo in the Orenburg region.
The missile with a hypersonic glide vehicle is fired outside the earth’s atmosphere before striking any target in the world in less than 30 minutes, Moscow has claimed.
