Putin announced boost to Russia’s nuclear arsenal and mass production of hypersonic missiles

Ahead of tomorrow’s holiday of the Russian armed forces, the president of Russia Vladimir Putin announced today that his country will further strengthen its nuclear arsenal and begin mass production of hypersonic missiles.

In his speech on “Defenders of the Fatherland Day”, the Kremlin strongman said that this year the first Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile launch systems (known in the West as “Satan 2”) will be deployed.

At the same time, we will continue mass production of Kinzhal hypersonic surface-to-air missiles and start mass production of Zircon anti-ship hypersonic missiles,” Putin said.

Earlier today, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov assured that Russia’s decision to suspend its participation in the treaty New START on limiting nuclear weapons, “doesn’t bring us any closer to a nuclear war.”
