Defense Sec Austin downplays Russia’s use of hypersonic missiles: Not a ‘game changer’

Austin says Putin 'resorting to using these types of weapons' because 'he’s trying to reestablish momentum'

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Sunday downplayed Russia’s claims that it used nuclear-capable hypersonic missiles on Ukrainian targets, saying it is not a "game changer" in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Appearing on CBS News’ "Face the Nation," Austin responded to Russia’s claims Saturday that it used a hypersonic missile to strike a munitions warehouse in western Ukraine.

Austin said he’s could not confirm whether Russia’s claims were true, but said it could signal Russian President Vladimir Putin’s growing desperation over his botched invasion.

"I would not see it as a game changer," Austin said. "I think, again, the reason that he’s resorting to using these types of weapons is because he’s trying to reestablish momentum. We’ve seen him attack towns and cities and civilians outright, and we expect to see that continue. But I don’t think that this in and of itself will be a game changer. 

"You kind of question why he would be doing this – is he running low on precision guided munitions? Does he lack complete confidence in the ability of his troops to reestablish momentum?" he continued. "But I don’t see this in and of itself as a game changer. I cannot confirm or dispute whether or not he’s used those weapons."

Russia said the hypersonic missile, carried by a MiG-31K warplane, is able to travel at 10 times the speed of sound with a range of roughly 1,250 miles.

Russia expert Rebekah Koffler, however, told Fox News Digital that the missile is capable of carrying nuclear arsenals and that even the suggestion of launching such a weapon is significant.

"It's a game-changer in the geopolitical realm, not unlike in the military realm, because they're trying to [send a] strategic message," she said. "In my assessment, [Putin] is climbing small steps in the escalation ladder on the trajectory to nuclear warfare."

Russian President Vladimir Putin won't rule out using nuclear weapons if Russia faces an "existential threat," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday in an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour.

Putin previously hinted that the nuclear option was on the table when he said in his televised address announcing the invasion on Feb. 24 that the "consequences" for any nation attempting to interfere "will be such as you have never seen in your entire history."

Three days after the invasion began, Putin ordered Russia's nuclear forces to high alert status. Russia has an arsenal of over 6,000 nuclear warheads.

Amanpour also asked Peskov what Putin has achieved in Ukraine so far, to which Peskov replied that Putin "hasn't achieved yet." Peskov did, however, claim that Russia's invasion was "going on strictly in accordance with the plans and the purposes that were established beforehand."

According to a Russian Defense Ministry report that was released Sunday and almost immediately scrubbed from the country's media, over 9,800 Russian troops have been killed since the invasion began on Feb. 24. In the past week, some Biden administration officials have concluded Russia has abandoned its original goal of implementing regime change in Ukraine, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
