Putin Touts New Invincible Nuclear-Powered Missile
Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted of new weaponry that will render NATO defenses "completely useless" -- and delivered a warning to the world about Russia's resurgent military might. In an annual address to the Russian parliament, the Kremlin leader said Russia had developed a new, nuclear-capable cruise missile with "unlimited" range that is capable of eluding air-defense systems. He also said Russia had developed an "invincible" missile that can deliver a warhead at hypersonic speed.
