Putin reveals new Russian missile that can ‘reach any point in the world’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin unveiled Russia a new array of nuclear weapons that are invincible, according to President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

“We have launched the development of the new generation of missiles, and, in particular, the Defense Ministry jointly with the missile and space industry launched the active phase of tests of a new missile complex equipped with a heavy intercontinental missile. We called it Sarmat,” Putin said<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Putin said that the Sarmat would be armed with a broad variety of nuclear warheads, including the supersonic ones, and would be equipped with the cutting-edge technologies of penetrating anti-missile systems.<\/p>\n

Vladimir Putin revealed a slew of new defense systems Thursday, including a new prototype missile that “can reach any point in the world” and a supersonic weapon that cannot be tracked by anti-missile systems.<\/p>\n

Russia’s next generation\u00a0missile system, Putin continued, “is capable of striking targets both via the North and the South Poles.”<\/p>\n

Delivering his annual State of the Union address, Putin announced increased capabilities in the defense sector, saying that Russia “should not forget about security,” following a speech that had initially focused on domestic issues. Putin also said that, if attacked, Russia was ready to use nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

Mr Putin made the claims as he laid out his key policies for a fourth presidential term.<\/p>\n

During the two-hour televised speech to a joint sitting of both houses of parliament, he said the weapons were a response to US development of its missile defence system.<\/p>\n

The US State Department said it was “certainly unfortunate to have watched the video animation that depicted a nuclear attack on the United States” – adding that it was not “the behaviour of a responsible international player”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
