Putin Unveils New Ultra Power Micro-Sized Nuclear Cruise Missile That Put American Tomahawk to Shame

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin: Promising armament systems of Russia based on the latest unique achievements of our scientists, designers, and engineers. One of them is the creation of a small-sized ultra powerful nuclear power plant. It's placed inside a cruise missile, like our newest air-launched model, Kh-101, or the American Tomahawk. At the same time, it provides a significantly greater cruising range, which is almost unlimited.

Low altitude, hard-to-detect cruise missile with a warhead, with nearly unlimited cruising range, unpredictable flight trajectory, and an option to bypass interception lines, is invincible to all existing and potential missile shield and air defense systems. This isn't the only time I'll say these words today.

 

At the end of 2017, a successful launch of the newest Russian cruise missile with an integrated nuclear power plant took place on the central proving ground of the Russian Federation. During its flight, the power plant has reached its programmed power capacity, providing the necessary level of power rating. The completed missile launch and land-based testing allow us to proceed with the creation of a revolutionary armament type of the strategic nuclear complex with a missile equipped with nuclear propulsion. The video, please.

Here, you can see it bypassing defense lines. Thanks to its unlimited cruising range, it can maneuver for an unlimited time.

As you understand, nobody in the world has designed anything similar so far. Maybe someday they will. But, by then, our people will come up with something else.
