Russia unveils 'unprecedented' weapon

New weapon can overcome the most advanced air defense systems in the world.

The British newspaper Daily Star quoted General Oleg Kislov as saying that the Russian army is testing a completely new type of weapon in the south of the country. The Russian “destructive” weapon, Oleg asserted, “follows completely new laws of physics.”

The testing site for the new weapons is in the sparsely populated Astrakhan region. “This is a guaranteed terrain for testing new physical laws,” Oleg said. Russian media reported that the term “new physical laws” is a common term used by the Russian military to refer to weapons that have never been used in combat.

The Russian Defense Ministry said that this weapon is still being researched and perfected and can be used in the near future. Mr. Oleg did not reveal the exact capabilities of this weapon, only knowing that it has extremely strong penetration ability, despite all modern air defense systems.

Russia is currently developing a completely new ballistic missile system that can be fired from a storage facility. An electromagnetic pulse gun with bullets flying at 6,500 km/h is also being researched and built. Senior military advisor Vladimir Mikheyev said that Russian combat drones could be equipped with such a gun in the future.

On October 19, Russian President Putin declared that he would “respond immediately and proportionately” if the United States withdrew from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. Mr. Putin also affirmed that Russia possesses missiles with capabilities equivalent to those of the United States.
