Military experts have also questioned why the Russians would use the hypersonic missile. The Daily Mail noted that the missile Biden claimed Russia used was known to fly 10 times the speed of sound and can avoid air defenses.

President Biden also said that Vladimir Putin may resort to tactics with "greater severity," claiming that the back of Russia's president is "against the wall."
