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.

This is old news a friend just showed me. Has anyone heard of this?
He announced not just hypersonic nuclear bomb delivery ability, but also stealth long range nuclear armed torpedes that could go thousands of miles and detonate near coastal cities.
Either he's the madman that McCain and Sneaky think he is, or he may be experiencing frustration with how the US ignores Russians concerns in world affairs, not the least of which has been the US meddling that resulted in the Ukrainian revolution.

Yes sir I know that. I just wasn't aware that he made a cute video of nuking Florida to go along with it.
Honestly if i was giving Putin a little bit of a benefit of the doubt, this moves the needle more against Putin.
