US President Donald Trump claimed on Friday that Russia created its hypersonic missile after receiving information about such technologies from the administration of his predecessor Barack Obama, TASS reported.

"They [Russia] have the missile, the super-duper-hypersonic missile (…). It goes five times faster than a normal missile," he told the crowd in Bemidji, Minnesota. "We have one that goes much faster, much faster than that."

"Russia got that information from the Obama administration, Russia stole that information. You knew that, you knew that. Russia got the information, and then they built it," the US leader added.

Speaking at a ceremony in the White House in mid-May, Trump had said the United States was working on a "super-duper missile" capable of flying 17 times faster than any other missile existing at the moment. He had given no further details.
