Moscow has developed advanced nuclear weapons capable of overcoming any defences, Russian president Vladimir Putin said in a move that will fuel concern about a new arms race with the US.
俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾•普京(Vladimir Putin)表示，莫斯科已經開發出能夠突破任何防禦的先進核武器。此舉將助燃人們對俄美之間展開新一輪軍備競賽的擔憂。
In his annual state of the nation address on Thursday, Mr Putin said Russia was ready to deploy the results of years of “working quietly and patiently” on a response to US missile defence.
普京在週四發表的年度國情諮文演講中表示，俄羅斯已準備好部署為回應美國導彈防禦而多年“靜靜而耐心工作”的成果。
He said Russia had started mass-producing the “Avangard” or RS-26 Rubezh, an intercontinental ballistic missile that carries multiple nuclear warheads capable of flying at 20 times the speed of sound to reach its target and avoid defences deployed by the US and its allies.
他說，俄羅斯已開始量產“Avangard”（RS-26 Rubezh型）洲際彈道導彈，該型導彈能夠攜帶多枚核彈頭，並能以20倍音速的超高速飛行，足以突破美國及其盟國部署的反導系統，命中目標。
He also said the military had tested a hypersonic air-launched missile, capable of carrying a nuclear or conventional warhead, called the “Dagger”. The weapon could be used to target ships or well-protected land targets — it reportedly reaches speeds of Mach 10 which would defeat any operational Nato anti-missile system.
他還表示，軍方測試了能夠攜帶一枚核彈頭或常規彈頭的“匕首”(Dagger)超音速空射導彈。這種導彈可用於打擊艦船或嚴密防禦的陸地目標。有報道稱，該型導彈的飛行速度達到10倍音速，足以突破北約(NATO)目前服役中的任何反導系統。
