Russias deadly secret weapons REVEALED
- and Putin has combat ROBOTS. VLADIMIR Putin may have already announced
a hypersonic nuclear missile that is undetectable to western radar but he has kept a number
of other high-tech weapons a secret, including an unstoppable air-to-surface rocket and new
combat robots. Just before tensions with Moscow ratcheted
around the globe following the spy poisoning saga, the Russian President unveiled a string
of new weaponry. It included a new supersonic weapon that cannot
be tracked by anti-missile systems.
But he has a number of other surprises up
his sleeve, according to pro-Moscow website Russia Insider. It claims Russia's military are already equipped
with Kh-32 air-to-surface missiles. The rockets enter the stratosphere after being
launched before diving back down to earth with such speed and dexterity they cannot
be defended against, it is claimed. Those missiles, capable of carrying nuclear
warheads, could be potentially deadly to any surface target, military chiefs say.
They have a range of around 1,000km and can
hit speeds of 5,400km per hour, making them more advanced than anything in the US arsenal. Alongside the missiles, the Kremlin also claims
to have developed combat robots that can mount attacks on land. The contraptions are said to have been designed
to take on armoured enemy weaponry and can operate alongside drones. A four-legged machine dubbed the Lynx will
carry a machine gun and anti-tank guided missiles and is capable of travel across any terrain.
Moscow also has a number of bombs invisible
to radar. The Drels, or gliding bombs, were unveiled
in the brutal Syrian conflict and can soar through the skies for 30km. Mr Putin unveiled a series of new weapons
in early March ahead of his election victory. The despot bragged of underwater drones that
can carry nuclear warheads are also being tested by the secretive nation, the President
said.
Once operational, they could be used to strike
against aircraft and launch attacks on enemy shores. And the Russian leader said military chiefs
had an operational ballistic missile with a limitless range. He claimed the missile could not be stopped
by an US shield, as a video simulation played on a big screen. Mr Putin said a nuclear attack on any of Moscows
allies would be regarded as an attack on Russia itself and draw an immediate response.
It was unclear if he had a particular Russian
ally, such as Syria, in mind, but his comments looked like a warning to Washington not to
use tactical battlefield nuclear weapons. His remarks were greeted with scepticism in
the US, where officials cast doubt on whether Russia has added any new capabilities to its
nuclear arsenal beyond those already known to its military and intelligence agencies. The Pentagon, which recently announced a nuclear
policy revamp based partly on the bellicose posture from Moscow, said it was not surprised
by Mr Putins presentation. Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said: Weve
been watching Russia for a long time.
Were not surprised. These weapons that are discussed have been
in development a very long time..
