Putin says Russia has begun development of new nuclear-powered cruise missiles
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that Russia has begun developing the next generation of nuclear-powered cruise missiles as he took part in an award ceremony in the capital Moscow.
“Development has begun on the next generation of nuclear-powered cruise missiles. Their speed will be more than three times the speed of sound, and in the future, they will even become hypersonic,” Putin said in the Kremlin, where the Russian president gave state awards to developers of the country’s nuclear-powered Burevestnik missile and Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicle.
