Over the last few days, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a series of new superweapons.  Among those weapons is what he called an “invincible,” nuclear-capable, intercontinental cruise missile that travels at 20 times the speed of sound.  He said, “No defense systems will be able to withstand it.”

So they are now only 8 years behind us in technology?

At 20 times the speed of sound you don't even need a warhead. The kinetic energy released would be pretty devastating. We have a program I believe is called Rods from God. Purely kinetic ammunition in the form of varrying sized tungsten rods, some the diameter of telephone poles, dropped from satellites in space.

The beauty of warheads is that you can detonate at 20,000 ft

What difference does it make how fast a nuke is?

Once they get launched and the return missiles get launched all that is left to do is to kiss life goodbye.

It was fun while it lasted....bunch of ignorant pricks.

The issue... Is this technology that the US sat on/ never funded but was "sold" through "hacked" servers for the Russians to develop?

It's a valid question.

Relax. The Pentagon is so far ahead of anything we (or the Rooskies) could ever imagine it would make your head spin.

I often wonder if we've developed Lazer guns like on star wars.

Thanks. I'm always trying to keep up with the latest in Russian super weapons. There's a one one every week, so it's hard.

Lol. Hey, the Chinese also have photonic radar that can instantly detect all our stealth aircraft, and yet they can't design their own stealth craft without stealing the knowhow, or even how to build a smart phone.
