While the eyes of the world are on the Middle East due to Iran’s retaliatory airstrike against Israel, Russia has tested its new ‘super weapon’. According to Russian media, Russia’s test of a new nuclear-capable missile has stunned NATO.
SUPERWEAPON LIKENED TO A COMET
Russian defense expert Colonel Viktor Baranets said that NATO’s intelligence services were taken aback by Russia’s new missile test because they did not expect it. Speaking to the Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, Baranets said of Putin‘s new weapon:
“It looked like a comet with a white tail like a snake. Its twists and turns were watched with amazement by residents of different regions of Russia (Orenburg, Astrakhan, Volgograd, Dagestan and others).
The superweapon was launched from the Kapustin Yar test site. The strange smoke trails it left in the sky quickly went viral on social media.
RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY DID NOT GIVE ANYTHING AWAY
The Russian Defense Ministry did not disclose the name of the secret rocket fired from the mobile missile launcher. It said the test was carried out as part of a state test program for future missile systems and those already in service. ‘The launch targets were fully completed,’ the ministry said, without providing further details.
”VALS MAKER” NEW NUCLEAR-CAPABLE WEAPON
The Sun from the British press announced Russia’s move with the headline: “Putin launches new nuclear-capable ballistic missile ‘superweapon’ that ‘waltzes’ through the sky to avoid Western detection”.
The Mirror commented, “Putin has a brand new super missile that can spin across the sky to avoid NATO detection.
