Pentagon: Russian missiles are dangerous, unlike American

The US Department of Defense takes the "Russian threat" and "destabilizing activity" of Russia in the world very seriously, therefore, closely cooperates with allies and partners in NATO. This was announced on July 19 at a briefing at the Pentagon by the spokesman for the US military, John Kirby.

Answering journalists' questions, the speaker noted that Washington is "aware of the statements of President Putin," but refused to comment on them, analyze and "go into details." At the same time, he clarified that Russian hypersonic missiles pose a great danger, unlike American ones.



Kirby explained that the RF's hypersonic weapons are "a noticeable destabilizing factor and potential threat," as they can carry nuclear warheads. At the same time, he assured that the American hypersonic weapons being developed will have "exclusively" non-nuclear equipment.

He added that the Russian Federation continues to pose a threat to the United States in the field of cyberspace. The Pentagon also takes this "very, very seriously." At the same time, Kirby did not blame Moscow for the recent cases of malaise among US diplomats in Austria, nicknamed in the Western media "acoustic attacks" and "Havana syndrome."
