		</div><p>A top Russian official has said the nation’s new strategic weapon has rendered any missile defenses useless.</p>
<p>Deputy prime minister Yuri Borisov told Russian state television that the Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle flies 27 times faster than the speed of sound, making it impossible to intercept.</p>
<p>He added that the new weapon “essentially makes missile defenses useless”.</p>
<p>Mr Borisov spoke a day after Russian president Vladimir Putin oversaw the Avangard’s reportedly successful test and hailed it as a reliable guarantee of Russia’s security for decades to come.</p>
<p>In Wednesday’s test, the weapon was launched from the Dombarovskiy missile base in the southern Ural Mountains.</p>
<p>The Kremlin said it successfully hit a practice target on the Kura shooting range on Kamchatka, 3,700 miles away.</p>
<p>The test comes amid bitter tensions in Russian-US relations.</p>
