Avangard
Model: Avangard
The Avangard is a Russian hypersonic glide vehicle capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Current stock: Limited due to technological complexity. Production: Incredibly advanced and resource-intensive, involving novel materials for heat resistance. Historical Usage: Primarily a strategic deterrent with no confirmed combat use. Countermeasures: Practically impossible with current missile defense systems due to speed and maneuverability.
