The Russian military has revealed the first real-life images of four advanced weapons systems that President Putin unveiled in March.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has just released a series of videos showing the testing and development of advanced weapons systems announced by President Vladimir Putin in his state of the union address four months ago.RTToday's news report.

Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle

The latest video shows the Avangard mounted on an intercontinental ballistic missile and being loaded into a silo. This is the first actual footage of this weapon, as Russia has only demonstrated the Avangard's attack method using video.The graphic simulation video was released in March.

Avangard is described as having hypersonic speed and the ability to withstand extremely high temperatures during the approach phase to its target. This hypersonic glide vehicle also possesses maneuverability in flight, making it impossible for enemy defense systems to accurately determine its trajectory for interception.

Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile

The released video shows Russian engineers inspecting Burevestnik cruise missiles in a large workshop. The missiles are painted red, but important details on their bodies are covered.

Russian engineers say that despite successful testing, the design of the airframe for the nuclear-powered cruise missile remains a challenge.BurevernikIt still needs adjustments. Some parts of the missile are being finalized in factories.

President Putin asserted that the Burevestnik has an "almost unlimited range" and the ability to maneuver effectively to evade US defense systems and attack from the most unexpected directions. However, some Western military experts have expressed skepticism about the feasibility and stability of the nuclear engine installed in the missile, as well as its environmental safety.

Poseidon nuclear torpedo

The latest video shows the first prototype of the Poseidon being finalized in the factory and featuring a very large propeller. Russian engineers are testing the performance of the Poseidon while the torpedo's propeller blades are still spinning.

Although the exact specifications of Poseidon have not been officially released, based on the latest images, military experts believe this torpedo is approximately 24 meters long and has a range of up to 10,000 kilometers.

The torpedoes will be launched from submarines at very great depths, making them virtually impossible to intercept. "These torpedoes could help the navy counter aircraft carriers and naval task forces in all seas, as well as destroy enemy coastal infrastructure," said Russian Admiral Igor Katasonov.

The new Peresvet laser combat system

The laser combat system is the most secretive weapon among the equipment unveiled by Putin on March 1st. The latest video shows Russian soldiers operating two Peresvet systems mounted on trucks. When activated, a laser beam launcher, designed like a naval gun, opens up, clearly revealing the weapon's design.

According to experts,Peresvet was most likely designed to jam and blind electro-optical devices mounted on enemy vehicles.
