State media Russia Today claims the new technology will make it impossible its enemies’ defenses to calculate the warhead’s trajectory before it is too late.
According to the media site, the test of the hypersonic cruise vehicle was a success after launching a UR-100N strategic ballistic missile near the Kazakhstan border.
The new RS-28 missile that military experts hope to arm the vehicle with is reportedly capable of carrying a ten ton payload, which can strike in any direction once it is launched.
Vladimir Putin has already warned that his Syria campaign is merely a “dress rehearsal” for all-out conflict.
And “all-out conflict” could be bad, really bad.
The Federation of American Scientists estimates that Russia’s total inventory of nuclear weapons is bigger than any other country.
Worse still, Putin has an eye-watering 890 nuclear warheads on “high alert” – some of which, known as SS18’s, are up to 1,000 times more explosive than the Hiroshima bomb.
The Russian Federation has declared five types of land-based ballistic missiles all of which with a range of more than 3,500 miles.
There are currently four fixed silo launcher sites: Dombarovsky, Uzhur, Kozel’sk and Tatishchevo – and London would be in range from all four.
The event happened, amid the controversy of Russian attack submarines increasingly patrolling the coasts of Scandinavia and Scotland, the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic, a US Navy chief has said.
Vladimir Putin’s recent boost to the submarine fleet means Russia now has the most underwater attack vessels in the area in two decades.
