Russia is developing a new generation of hypersonic missiles capable of carrying out attacks from land, air or sea, according to the country's deputy prime minister.
Yuri Borisov was quoted by the Interfax news agency on Monday as saying the weapons were being developed to compete with the United States' own stockpiles.
“Work is underway to create a new generation of ground, air and sea-based hypersonic missiles. In terms of their characteristics, they will surpass the existing and prospective developments of the leading states,” he said.
