Putin’s Gives U.S. A New Look At Its Future Arsenal || Six Secret “Super Weapons”.Putin’s just released a threatening new look at the six secret ‘super weapons’
Putin’s Superweapons…..
★ PERESVET: The Ministry of Defence says Moscow’s ‘Space Force’ has, for the first time, a new weapon based on a laser system. It says some of these combat lasers - intended to intercept incoming missiles and target satellites - are already built and deployed with associated troops and infrastructure. The system is said to be undergoing extensive operational testing to establish procedures, capabilities and needs. “Every day the personnel receive theoretical knowledge in specially equipped training classes, and practical actions are worked out directly on military equipment.”
★ BUREVESTNIK: It's touted to be a cruise missile given unlimited global reach because of a revolutionary new nuclear-powered engine. There are, however, doubts it actually works. Nevertheless, Moscow remains upbeat: “A low-flying, barely noticeable cruise missile carrying a nuclear warhead with virtually unlimited range, unpredictable flight trajectory and the possibility of circumvention of interception lines is invulnerable to all existing and prospective systems of both missile defence and air defence”. It says design and development work is continuing.
★ POSEIDON: Moscow says its new Ocean Multipurpose System “Poseidon” is a “fundamentally new type of naval underwater weapon based on the use of unmanned underwater vehicles (which) is practically one hundred per cent invulnerable from enemy countermeasures”. It’s supposed to used a nuclear powerplant to deliver a nuclear warhead to coastal facilities anywhere in the world. It says recent tests have proven the feasibility of the design, and work continues on developing prototypes.
★ AVANGARD: President Putin boasted this was a ICBM-launched guided glider capable of flying so fast, nothing could defend against it. Now Moscow says it has entered mass production. It says it can follow an evasive flight path at more than 20 times the speed of sound. “The flight trajectory of the planning combat unit is below the minimum height of the interception of the ABM air defence missile systems,” it says. “Its interception by short-range antimissiles is also unlikely due to the limited possibilities for deploying antimissiles on a high-speed manoeuvring target”. It adds launch facilities are being built or upgraded to handle the new weapon.
★ SARMAT: Perhaps the least ‘new’ of Putin’s weapon systems is the heavy intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) intended to carry the Avangard and other warheads towards their targets. “It can carry combat blocks of small, medium, high or large power classes,” the defence ministry says. Plans to systematically replace older weapons with the Sarmat are going according to schedule, it says.
★ DAGGER: Moscow says this aircraft-launched hypersonic missile is operational after some 350 test flights, including 70 where its carrying aircraft were refuelled in flight. “As part of the strategic containment of MiG-31 aeroplanes with the Dagger system, scheduled air operations are carried out over the water area of the Caspian Sea. It says other aircraft, such as the Tu-22M strategic bomber also are being adapted to carry the new weapon.
