lulz ... I hear Putin in my head like that Boris character from Bullwinkle.

MIR Putin says Russia is developing an "unstoppable" nuclear cruise missile which cannot be intercepted by any anti-missile system on earth.
The newly developed intercontinental ballistic rocket with "unlimited range" was one of several unveiled by the Russian leader in his state of the nation address in Moscow.
Footage showed during Putin's speech appeared to show one of the new missiles heading towards the US
They include a nuclear-powered cruise missile, a nuclear-powered underwater drone and new hypersonic missile which apparently have no equivalent.
Footage shown during his speech apparently showed the new "unstoppable" missile heading toward the United States as he promises to "neutralise" America's missile defence.
"Russia remained a nuclear power but no one wanted to listen to us," Putin, 65, told lawmakers. "Listen to us now."
He said the hypersonic intercontinental rocket, known as the Avangard, is capable of travelling 20 times the speed of sound and strike "like a meteorite, like a fireball".

Vladimir Putin has raised fears of a nuclear arms race in the 21st century
He unveiled new, hypersonic nuclear weapons which have no equal
The most frightening weapon he alluded to was a nuclear-powered cruise missile
Putin said it can travel 20 times the speed of sound and strike "like a meteorite"
He said the Avangard also has "unlimited range" and "cannot be intercepted"
Putin also announced a nuclear-powered underwater drone and cruise missile
The Russian leader emphasised the weapons have no equivalent in the West
Putin vowed to wage nuclear war on the United States if Trump attacked first
"We aren't threatening anyone... we aren't going to take anything from anyone," he said
The new missiles have an 'unlimited range', Putin said in his state of the nation address in Moscow
"It's like a fireball guided to its target," said Putin, who also announced Russia was working on laser weapons systems.

Then we will strike back with our 1st Skyscreamer Division sent in by bus to the Kremlin.

Does anyone care about "more powerful" nukes? Serious question. They fire off a "less powerful" nuke we are all dead just the same. So I don't really understand the point of building more or modernizing. Seems like a total waste of money.

I was about to post a topic on this
He's probably overselling the capabilities by a good bit
So that would make it about 3 times faster than a rail gun. What exactly allows it to launch and travel at this speed?

Probably obtained by some deal involving clintons

Another failure of Obama/Hillary flexible/restart.
Putin can no longer talk nice while gobbling up territory of his neighbors.
His main weapon from Syria to Ukraine were “Russian mercenaries”. We just destroyed an operational unit of these A-holes. Since his direct action has been thwarted, he is now talking tough.
Trump is shoving Obama/Hillary restart up his anus.
MAGA!

It would take one hell of a heat shield to keep it from burning up on reentry at that speed and likely some of them would skip off into space if it misses its angle.

Trump said that Putin is a good man and that he trusts him. Thats all I need

Lasers and kinetic projectiles fired from space based platforms are where it's at now ... and the U.S. and China know it.
Russia is a clown anymore, they are almost not to even be taken seriously with all the little games they play.
Bad part about it though is how the leftie fruitcakes in this country have always used them, since the Bolshevik Revolution, for their political purposes ... well, actually, both sides have up to a point.
Interesting ... stop and think about how Russia has influenced this country since the early 20th century. It's fairly amazing actually.

Apparently Russian scientists are WAY more advanced than anyone in the world by a long shot...

The more important part of his claim is that it can not be intercepted by any missile defense system.
i.e. once it's launched you're fricked

Why can it not be intercepted?
Is in invisible?
Does it fly in quirky random patterns like an ant or bug escaping across the floor?
Just because Putin claims it does not make it true. Remember, this is the guy who is known for trying to pass off computer generated graphics as actual test video.
Here's the rule of the whole "can't be intercepted and brought down myth."
Unless it is flying faster than light ... it can be intercepted and brought down. The question then becomes, at what point in it's trajectory does that happen? Near launch, apex or target impact?

You believe he has the capability to launch an ICBM at speeds faster than anything else on the planet? That’s the boast. It travels at Mach 20 so nothing can target it much less catch it.
