Just days after the successful summit between Presidents Trump and Putin, Russia has announced tests of a range of weapons systems. On Thursday, the Defense Ministry said tests are planned for laser systems, nuclear-capable cruise missiles, and an underwater drone.
These are the same weapons Russia unveiled plans for back in March, their next generation of conventional and nuclear arms. Russian officials have branded them “super weapons,” and have said they are designed to totally circumvent US missile defenses to maintain a balance of power.
Russian officials say that the tests are practice on the use of the high-powered Peresvet laser and the Poseidon underwater drone, alone with a switch to flight trials at Sarmat missile complex.
Russian officials have said the cruise missiles being developed are nuclear-capable missiles with “unlimited range.” They have said these missiles will be beyond the capacity of any US systems to intercept, which is likely not difficult given the limited success US missile defense has actually had.
How can it be that now Russia has finally sanctioned the USA on purchasing any more of those special rocket engines . because they could be used for military purposes . These Rockets can deliver unstoppable nuclear bombs anyplace in the world at supersonic speeds . Why is it that United States spends 20 times what Russia spends . And Russia owns the intellectual property on the best rockets . You don’t suppose Mueller and Hillary sold the intellectual property when they sold our Uranium do you ?
All of these next gen weaponry was part of old Soviet science research, mothballed after the end of cold war. As it became clear by 2000 that Cold War has restarted, scientific track mived over to universities and military labs. The one to watch is Poseidon.
Alarmist, we already can’t shoot down ICBMs, and neither can they.
