December 23, 2019 "Information Clearing House" - Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Moscow has shown Washington its hypersonic “Avangard” missile, and is also willing to demonstrate its “Sarmat” ballistic missile .

“We are prepared to build these weapons and systems into the existing New START treaty,” he said during a broadcast of the program Bolshaya Igra on Russia’s Channel One, as cited by RIA Novosti.

According to the minister, during their discussion regarding the New START treaty, Russia’s representatives told the US that Moscow has already presented its new weapons systems, including its hypersonic weapons. Lavrov noted that Russia is working under the assumption that the Avangard and Sarmat systems are covered by the agreement.
