This is already the third scientist arrested in the field of hypersonic missiles since June last year! In June last year (2022), Maslov, the chief researcher of the Siberian branch, was arrested on suspicion of “transferring secret State data related to missiles.” Immediately afterwards, Hipuyuk, Director of the Institute of Theory and Mechanics of the Academy – was also arrested by the Police. These three scientists can all be called Russia’s “National Treasure” level of scientific experts. They have made outstanding contributions to the field of hypersonic missiles. However – these “experts” have been arrested one after another – which shows the seriousness of this apparent “leak” problem! The fact that the Russian side chose to treat the behaviour of these “experts” as “treason” – is enough to illustrate the seriousness of this situation!
