RUSSIAN PRESIDENT Vladimir Putin with the aid of a giant video screen, presented Russia’s very latest strategic weapons.
Putin amazed the attentive audience when he gave a State of the Nation Address in which he presented video footage of ‘new generation nuclear weapons’ which are designed to bypass US security systems, He showed footage of cruise missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles, underwater drones and supersonic jets in what some likened to the onset of the next cold war.
The presentation revealed what Putin said in a surprise 200 tonne Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles which can dodge defence and missiles that can travel at supersonic speed at five times the speed of sound and reach any point around the world.
The State of the Nation address was attended by several key figures including Russian MPs and senators who applauded the military video.
This address by Putin was said to be a two pronged message, firstly to the West, don’t push us and, secondly with Russia’s elections due soon, the message to the Russian people is clear: ‘Vote for Putin and you’ll be voting for national security’
President Putin’s video showed a missile launch and demonstrated that Russia has developed a new range of nuclear weapons that are considered invincible, including a cruise missile said to have the capability to reach any point in the world.
Putin warned that the West: “need to take account of a new reality and understand … this… is not a bluff.”
Putin showcased new nuclear delivery systems development which showed missiles that allegedly can evade missile detection, along with “low-flying, difficult-to-spot cruise missiles… with a practically unlimited range and an unpredictable flight path, which can bypass lines of interception and is invincible in the face of all existing and future systems of both missile defence and air defence”.
In another presentation Putin showed a submarine-launched, long-range missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to the target. More news to follow. By Sibusiso Ngwenya
