Is the Russian Avangard Hypersonic ICBM a Serious Threat? Or is This Just More Hype from Moscow?

Exactly how serious a threat Russia's Avangard hypersonic intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is to the United States isn't entirely clear.

Seventy-five years ago saw the first, and so far the last, use of nuclear weapons on our planet. In succeeding years, however, a cold war and an historically unprecedented arms race were un-leashed between states and the world stood witness to an accu-mulation of nuclear capabilities which superseded by a million times the devastating force of the first two atomic bombs that struck the two Japanese cities

The new coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has already inflicted great damage on a number of nations and on the world at large, resulting not only in many tens of thousands of deaths but also in economic, financial and social crises. It also forced the international community to cancel or postpone a number of important meetings, including big international conferences. One such victim, unfortunately, is the 10th conference to review the operation of the Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons – a central pillar in the current architecture of nuclear arms control and disarmament
