Moscow (CNN)Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted Thursday of new weaponry he claims will render NATO defenses "completely useless," delivering 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. Putin is running for re-election in mid-March on a platform that emphasizes his strength as a leader. Thursday's speech was an occasion for the Russian President to showcase his country's strides in military technology.
