“Sarmat’s MIRVs are now deployed using the Avangarde Hypersonic sleds therefore making them hypersonic cruise missiles. We better be able to get this before it deploys them or its no dice as there is no way to intercept and shoot down anything that is hypersonic.”
All ICBMs are hypersonic, with reentry speeds in the 15000-18000 mph range. That’s why a “Star Wars” type ABM system is so difficult to design and implement.
True only when they are released, Sarmat’s are propelled and independently guided like cruise missiles. That is the big difference.
