Since its range is unlimited, it can manoeuvre as long as you want,” Mr Putin said. “For now, no one in the world has anything like this.”

Not much better than an Estes Rocket.
They’d end up nuking themselves.
I was thinking the same thing!
"What's the blast radius of our nuke?"
"23 miles."
"Oh crap, it shut down 22 miles out!"
Chicken Kiev.
A failure worthy of the Chinese.
When are they going to polygraph all feds? We are facing a government coup and nothing seems to be getting done about it.
