Putin: Russia has nuclear weapons impossible to intercept...
"President Vladimir Putin says Russia has developed a range of new nuclear weapons that he claims can't be intercepted by an enemy.
Russia has been working for years to develop a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) to replace the Soviet-designed Voyevoda, the world's heaviest ICBM known as "Satan" in the West that carries 10 nuclear warheads. Putin announced that the new missile, called Sarmat, is undergoing tests and a video shown during his speech featured its test launch.
Putin said Sarmat weighs 200 metric tons (220 tons) and has a higher range than Satan, allowing it to fly over the North or the South Poles and strike targets anywhere in the world. He added that Sarmat also carries a bigger number of nuclear warheads, which are more powerful than the ones on Satan."

We have developed a small nuclear reactor for cruise missiles (with nuclear weapons). This will provide a range of 10 times more than other missiles. Expose flight simulation video of cruise missiles to avoid ABM system. Interesting it can evade radar coverage and steer clear of radar intercept

Why would Putin want to nuke Florida?

President Putin has unveiled Russia's new stockpile of "invincible" nuclear weapons, with a video graphic appearing to show missiles raining on Florida.
But why would the Kremlin want to target the Sunshine State in the event of an atomic war?
Florida is home to tourist attractions such as Walt Disney World and the Everglades National Park.
But it also has high-profile targets including President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
A spokesman for the US Defence Department said the Pentagon was "not surprised" by Mr Putin's rhetoric.
"The American people should rest assured that we are fully prepared," said Dana White from the Pentagon, downplaying the Russian threat.

Mr Putin's video shows a brief animation of multiple nuclear warheads heading for the Panhandle.
There are several nuclear bunkers at President Trump's Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, where he has spent a number of weekends since taking office.
The cereal heiress who built Mar-a-Lago in 1927 had three of them installed during the Korean War.
There is another bomb shelter at Mr Trump's golf course a few miles away in West Palm Beach (under the second hole, ).
Another bunker was created for President John F Kennedy not far from Mar-a-Lago.
It is located on Peanut Island, a 10-minute journey from a Palm Beach house where Kennedy often stayed.
Yet no bunker, however brilliantly assembled, will survive a direct hit, say experts.
Another military target could be US Central Command, which is headquartered at MacDill Air Base in Tampa.
Known as Centcom, it is responsible for the operational theatre spanning parts of the Middle East, Central Asia and North Africa.
But analysts say that Florida is unlikely to be a prime target in the event of nuclear armageddon.
Matthew Kroenig, in his book The Logic of American Nuclear Strategy, writes that Russian's priority would be to blunt US retaliatory capability.
Moscow would probably target US nuclear silos at Malstrom Air Force Base in Montana, Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, the home of US Strategic Command at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska, and Warren Air Force Base, which straddles the borders of Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska, he says.
The Kremlin would also aim to wipe out America's two strategic submarine bases in Bangor, Washington, and King's Bay, Georgia, along with about 70 other US military bases around the country, Kroenig writes.
And it would fire two missiles at each of the 131 most populous US cities "to destroy industrial capability and inflict massive destruction", with a bullseye on the command and control centre of Washington DC.
Mark Fitzpatrick, from the International Institute for Strategic Studies, told the BBC: "This isn't a warfighting strategy, to have a video of attacking Florida.
"This is a message. The symbolism is in the video itself. It's a rhetorical flourish."

The problem with that thing is that unless the Russians have magically prevented radioactive particles from the reactor shearing off during high supersonic flight, that nuclear ramjet can be easily tracked.
That missile on the MiG 31 looks like a rocket of some sort.
