Russia successfully test-launches new nuclear-capable missile

Russia says it has successfully test-launched a hypersonic missile, one of a range of “invincible” nuclear-capable weapons announced by President Vladimir Putin earlier this month. The weapon tested was the Kinzhal missile – named for a type of dagger, which is said to travel at 10 times the speed of sound and have a range of 2,000km (1,200 miles). It was launched from a MiG-31 jet that took off from an airfield in south-west Russia on Saturday.

    That’s exciting!

    Why test a weapon unless you’re gonna use it?

    It’s one thing to go that fast, quite another to control.

    If the US did not present itself as a military threat to Russian national security and sovreignty by not wanting regime change or to take russian minerals by force ie nato build up on russian borders these hyper weapons would not be needed.
    same with china…US threatning conquest of china is forcing chinese hyper weapons…same with iran and north korea, its all cause of US militaristic foreign policy.
    But like they say…the bigger u are the harder u fall…

    I think u r a Muslim. Muslims are the only one in the world who may think it is advantageous to have the nuclear war and ensuing chaos and ruin of Western civilization in the West and in Russia that is part of it. If it happens these imbeciles believe they will be the masters of the world. They are not afraid of China and India.
