PRESIDENT PUTIN ANNOUNCES TEST OF NEW KLINOK MISSILE

An underwater drone armed with a nuclear warhead powerful enough to sweep away coastal facilities and aircraft carriers is currently undergoing test in Russia.

 This was announced by President Vladimir Putin who unveiled the stunning catalog of doomsday machines in his annual state-of-the-nation speech, saying that Russia had to build them to counter the potential threat posed by the U.S. missile defense system and represent a major technological breakthrough that could dramatically bolster Russia's military capability, boost its global position and trigger a new arms race.

A video released during the Russian president’s speech appears to confirm that a much anticipated ejection test which tests the mechanism of a missile leaving its launch container has taken place. The launch (there is ongoing speculation about the precise nature of the test) apparently occurred in December 2017 at the Plesetsk space center, located in Arkhangelsk Oblast, approximately 800 kilometers north of Moscow.

Putin's dramatic announcement comes as he seeks another six-year term on March 18, an election he is expected to win easily.
