  'Excellent New Year's gift': Putin boasts after testing 'invulnerable' Russian hypersonic missile

  The Kremlin said the Avangard missile successfully hit a designated practice target 6,000 kilometres away from its launch site The Associated Press , Vladimir Isachenkov MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin oversaw a test Wednesday of a new hypersonic glide vehicle, declaring that the weapon is impossible to intercept and will ensure Russia's security for decades to come. Speaking to Russia's top military brass after watching the live feed of the launch of the Avangard vehicle from the Defence Ministry's control room, Putin said the successful test was a “great success” and an “excellent New Year's gift to the nation.” The test comes amid bitter tensions in Russia-U.S. relations, which have sunk to their lowest level since the Cold War times over the conflict in Ukraine, the war in Syria and the allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Putin's hopes for repairing ties with Washington under President Donald Trump have fizzled amid investigations into allegations of Trump's campaign ties with Russia, and tensions have escalated as the U.S. administration slapped Russia with new waves of sanctions. The Avangard was among the array of new nuclear weapons that Putin presented in March, saying that Russia had to develop them in response to the development of the U.S. missile defence system that could erode Russia's nuclear deterrent. In Wednesday's test, the weapon was launched from the Dombarovskiy missile base in the southern Ural Mountains. The Kremlin said it successfully hit a designated practice target on the Kura shooting range on Kamchatka, 6,000 kilometres away. “The Avangard is invulnerable to intercept by any existing and prospective missile defence means of the potential adversary,” Putin said after the test, adding that the new weapon will enter service next year with the military's Strategic Missile Forces. When first presenting the Avangard in March, the Russian leader said the new system has an intercontinental range and can fly in the atmosphere at 20 times the speed of sound, bypassing the enemy's missile defence. He emphasized that no other country currently has hypersonic weapons. Putin has said that Avangard is designed using new composite materials to withstand temperatures of up to 2,000 degrees Celsius (3,632 degrees Fahrenheit) that come from a flight through the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds. https://nationalpost.com/news/world/russias-putin-oversees-test-of-hypersonic-weapon

  Exportations françaises d’armement : net rebond attendu en 2021

  Troisième pays exportateur d'armement en 2020, derrière les États-Unis et la Russie, avec 4,9 milliards d'euros de ventes, la France s'attend à un net rebond en 2021, notamment suite à la signature de contrats qui ont été discutés mais n'ont pas pu aboutir en raison de la crise sanitaire, et surtout à « l'entrée en vigueur des trois contrats de vente de l'avion de combat Rafale pour 7,7 milliards d'euros », comme l'a souligné Hervé Grandjean, porte-parole du ministère des Armées, qui a présenté, ce mercredi, le rapport sur les exportations d'armement en 2020 remis au Parlement. « Le contrat signé avec la Grèce est entré dans le carnet de commandes 2021. Notre objectif est une entrée en vigueur des contrats avec l'Égypte et la Croatie d'ici à fin 2021 », a-t-il ajouté. « Au total, l'Europe est la première destination de nos exportations avec 25% de la valeur, contre 17% en 2017. C'est la seconde fois que nous vendons autant en Europe, hors l'année 2019 (47%) marquée par des contrats exceptionnels», souligne Hervé Grandjean. Le Moyen-Orient a représenté 24% du total, l'Asie-Océanie 22%, et l'Afrique 16%. Le Figaro, La Tribune et L'Usine Nouvelle du 3 juin
