    Massive technology breakthrough. Torpedo is just as big. Sad that they are not also providing a cost effective micro SMR power solution as well, though I get that power delivery depends on “wind intake speed”. This is extreme nuclear/missile weapon supremacy, that Russia already had with hypersonics.

      It’s powered by a miniature nuclear reactor meaning that it can stay airborne long enough to fly around the world and approach targets from any direction.

    The manoeuvrability is only on the accent as the missile is blinded by the plasma on reentry. Its still very interceptable. As soon as its launched NATO will be tracking it.

    Time for russia to rattle their new temu saber and Trump is such a spineless cunt he’ll cave instantly.

      You gotta love it when people start commenting on a topic they have no clue about. There is no reentry, this is a low flying missile. The whole point of it is that it’s a loitering missile that can fly around for months on end. That’s the whole reason for the panic in NATO, it’s not possible to track it at all. Time for you to stop embarrassing yourself in public.

    We can add this to the extensive list of times that we’ve assumed Russia’s military capabilities only for them to turn out to be wet farts.

      What actually turned out to have the capabilities of wet farts were all the fabled NATO weapons that were sent to Ukraine. Every single wunderwaffe that was supposed to turn the war right around turned out to be a dud in the end.

        It’s a proxy war with capabilities deliberately throttled on both sides. This is why we all are still alive yet. Let’ hope NATO has the brains to accept its loss gracefully. Or, at least, not escalate beyond limited tactical nuclear exchange.
