普京试验“无敌”高超音速洲际导弹，可携带24枚核弹头，飞行速度20马赫

Putin tests 'invincible' hypersonic intercontinental missile that can carry 24 nuclear warheads at mach TWENTY making them impossible to intercept

普京试验“无敌”高超音速洲际导弹，可携带24枚核弹头，飞行速度高达20马赫，无法对其进行拦截

Vladimir Putin today answered his Western critics by demonstrating a fearsome test firing of a Russia's new Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile.

今天，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔•普京用令人震慑的俄罗斯新型莎尔马特洲际弹道导弹试射回应了西方的批评。

Video footage shows the 'invincible' hypersonic weapon emerging from an underground silo at Plesetsk spaceport in northern Russia.

视频显示，俄罗斯北部普列谢茨克航天发射中心的地下发射井中射出了“无敌”高超音速武器。

The rocket is seen hovering for less than a second, before speeding away in a cloud of white smoke.

这枚火箭在空中盘旋了不到一秒钟，然后在一团白色的烟雾中疾驰而去。

US officials have sounded a growing alarm about the potential threat from hypersonic weapons - those that can travel at five times the speed of sound or more.

美国官员对高超音速武器的潜在威胁发出了越来越严厉的警告声—这种武器的速度可达音速的五倍甚至更多。

The new launch is shown on a 23-second video from the Russian defence ministry.

俄罗斯国防部发布了一段23秒的视频，视频记录了此次发射情况。

The ICMB was fired for the second time since tests began last December, say Moscow officials.

莫斯科官员表示，自去年12月测试开始以来，已对洲际弹道导弹进行第二次被试射。

The Sarmat has a speed of Mach 20, and a payload of about ten tonnes, meaning it can carry up to 24 of Russia's new Avangard hypersonic glide vehicles.

莎尔马特的飞行速度为20马赫，有效载荷约为10吨，这意味着它可以携带多达24枚俄罗斯新阿凡加尔德高超音速滑翔导弹。

The Avangard is capable of an altered trajectory, able to make high-speed evasive maneuvers, and according to Putin himself strikes 'like a meteorite, like a fireball'.

阿凡加尔德能够改变轨道，能够进行高速机动规避，根据普京自己的说法“像殒石也像火球”。

'This new test at the Plesetsk spaceport confirmed its characteristics during the pre-launch and initial flight phases,' the ministry said in a statement published in its Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star) newspaper.

俄罗斯国防部在《红星报》发表的一份声明中说，“在普列谢茨克发射中心的这项新试验证实了它在发射前和飞行初期的特性。”

Putin said during his annual state of the nation parliamentary address this month that Russia had begun actively testing the Sarmat - known to NATO as the SS-X-32 SNOWFLAKE.

普京在本月的全国议会讲话中说，俄罗斯已经开始积极试验莎尔马特，北约此前了解到其代号为SS-X-32“雪花”。

It is expected to go operational in 2021 with the the Uzhur-based strategic missile force division.

莎尔马特预计将在2021年投入乌兹尔基地的战略导弹部队进行作战。
