The Avangard (Russian: Авангард, "Vanguard"; previously known as Objekt 4202, Yu-71 and Yu-74) is a Russian hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV). It can be carried as a multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) payload of heavy intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), such as the UR-100UTTKh, [6] [7] R-36M2 and RS-28 Sarmat.
China. Chinese DF-ZF hypersonic glide vehicle mounted on the DF-17 ballistic missile.. DF-ZF (developed and deployed) / Mach 5–10 [5]; GDF-600 (concept) In addition to a unified payload the Guangdong Aerodynamic Research Academy claims to be exploring fitting the conceptual weapon with various submunitions including what it calls a patrol projectile.
The DF-ZF is a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) developed by the People's Republic of China.It is launched by the DF-17 medium-range ballistic missile.The combined weapon system was likely operational by October 2019.
President Vladimir Putin announced the Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle in 2018, saying it was a response to U.S. development of a new generation of weapons and a U.S. missile defence system that ...
While reusable hypersonic flight was first proven in the 1960s, both Russia and China have advanced hypersonic flight to the next level by developing weapons that not only fly fast but also at low ...
A US government source told The Diplomat this week that China has conducted flight tests of a missile equipped with a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV). Two tests of the HGV, a model known as the DF ...
The DF-17 uses the rocket booster from the DF-16B short-range ballistic missile. [6] It is more difficult for missile defenses to intercept the manoeuvrable DF-ZF than a ballistic missile, whose trajectories are more predictable. [7] [5] DF-17 strikes to degrade air and missile defenses may precede the use of less survivable weapons. [5]
