Russia has showed the US representatives the Avangard deense system live, and later it will be ready to demonstrate the Sarmat ballistic missile, learned BulgarianMilitary.com, quoting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov statement, Eurasia Diary reports citing Bulgarian Military News.
“We have already told the Americans (this discussion took place within the framework of the bilateral advisory commission created by the START-3 Treaty) that our new systems, including hypersonic weapons, were presented. We presume that the Avangard and Sarmat systems are covered by the contract,” RIA Novosti quoted Lavrov.
“Moreover, we have already presented the Avangard defense system to the Americans live, and at a certain stage we will be ready to do this with the Sarmat,” Lavrov said.
He noted that other arms systems are not covered by the START Treaty, Russia is ready to conduct a separate discussion on them.
Recall that in November Russia demonstrated to the United States the Avangard missile system with a hypersonic unit.
