Vladimir Putin has tested a nuclear-powered cruise missile with "unlimited range" just days after meeting with Donald Trump...According to the Russian Ministry of Defence it can reach any desired target on the planet. The video of the successful launch of the 'Burevestnik' cruise missile, also known as 9M730, was published by Russian Ministry of Defence and local media claim the weapon has "unlimited range".

Ping!

Ready for some fun? Have a look at comment #12 by PLMerite in this thread along with a reply or two from me.

And they took the bait like a bluegill on a worm. ;-)

Those of you who are technically inclined followers of military news will follow the link to the article, look at the video and photos and have a good laugh.

[usual suspect]

That would be considered to be a nuclear weapon...

Oh good, now we can bomb the sun!

Here’s some info for the rest of you. Look at the photo on the page behind the link. Look at the size of that thing. Do you see now? ;-D

Between their doomsday weapon announcements and similar claims by the Iranians, I think the level of entertainment value is a tie. It’s like old times again. ;-)

They will never match our lizard spies or
our weather machine.

Bwhahahahah.

BRAVO SIERRA!

Notice the Alinsky tactic of personalizing this missile test. It was Putin, not Russia that tested it. When was the last time we had a military test and they said Obama or Trump tested a missile/weapon? The media really is the enemy of the people.

I’m not worried because I’ve got my mine shaft and 20 comely lasses...

[Pontiac]

It would be a dirty bomb

40 years behind. Look up “Project Pluto”

[Flick Lives]

Exactly. Pure BS. There is no way one could have an on-board nuclear reactor small enough yet powerful enough to propel a cruise missile. Except for the really out-there nuclear explosion powered concept vehicles like Project Orion, all current reality-based nuclear powered vehicles (surface ships, subs, etc) use a nuclear power plant to generate heat to drive steam turbines.

Interestingly, over 50 years ago, the same fakeMSM made claims the Soviets had an operation nuclear powered aircraft. Turned out the pictures were of a conventionally-powered Soviet jet.

We need to see whoever is genuinely concerned about this, rather than merely trying to bring down Trump, out in front pushing for an increase in military spending by the US and NATO. Democrats — that includes you.

Not only does it have unlimited range, it flies at supersonic speed AND can turn on a dime. Really. Trust me.

[painter]

Whether if this real or not we have a bunch of lunatics on the left wanting a war with Russia over election "meddling"!

They are whipped up in a frenzy with a country with 45% of all the nuclear weapons in the world.

[Wonder Warthog]

I seriously doubt that Vladimir Putin had anything to do with the testing. “Russian scientists” (and engineers) did the testing.

[bgill]

And that, you moronic demonrats, is why Trump didn’t punch Putin in the face.

[Halgr]

Physically Impossible....you can’t make a nuke reactor that small.

Be forewarned - Laz has the spare key to your mine shaft. Your comely lasses are at risk of being “hit”.
