Putin threatens the West with a new superweapon

During his address to the Russian Federal Assembly on 29 February, Vladimir Putin emphasised that Russia is creating the most advanced weapons and is rapidly arming itself with them. The Russian leader also mentioned strategic nuclear forces, according to Kommersant Ukrainian

Thus, Putin has once again tried to intimidate the West, this time over the hypothetical sending of troops to Ukraine.

“We remember the fate of those who once sent their contingents to the territory of our country. But now the consequences for possible interventionists will be much more tragic. They should understand that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory. Everything they are inventing and scaring the whole world with really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons, which means the destruction of civilisation… Strategic nuclear forces are in full readiness for use. “,

– putin said.

In addition, Russia has many other powerful weapons, the Russian president stressed. Among the novelties that are already being tested, he named the Burevestnik missile and Poseidon underwater drones.

“The Kinzhal hypersonic aircraft system has not only been put into service, but is also being used with high efficiency to hit particularly important targets during the Joint Forces Operation… The Avangard intercontinental-range hypersonic units and the Peresvet laser systems are on combat duty. Testing of the Burevesnik unlimited-range cruise missile and the Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicle is nearing completion. The first serial heavy ballistic missiles “Sarmat” have been delivered,

– the Russian leader boasted.

This rhetoric fits well with the plan for Russia’s Maidan-3 special operation published by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, one of the points of which is to convince Western countries that Russia is developing powerful weapons that the West does not have.
