Finally, we can go to war with the planet circling Alpha Centauri!
1950s US tech discontinued.
Yeah, slow flying and detectable from the moon.
Project Pluto 1951 or so.
Nuclear powered ramjet.
Makes almost as big a mess flying around as on detonation.
Putin crashed one if these in 2018 in testing.
I’m sure it made a mess somewhere in Siberia.
” unveiled by Vladimir Putin in 2018”
It was developed by Putin as a defensive move in case Ukraine on his very border attacked and tried to conquer Russia.
A very shrewd on Putins part. Ukraine attacked Russia and tried to conquer it just 4 years later.
unlimited because it has a nuclear reactor as a power source,
I guess in for a Penney, in for a Pound. I nuclear warhead the exploded reactor cor is just a little more radioactive fallout. If a conventional warhead, this becomes a dirty bomb, spreading radioactive reactor core radiation.
Sounds like only one use was contemplated in its design.
They can be supersonic, actually.
But yes, absolutely detectable from the Moon.
We abandoned a supersonic low altitude missile program using a ramjet in 1962 or so. Cheaper icbms and able submarines made them
Impractical in comparison.
This seems an admission that Russian subs and icbms are less formidable than on paper.
Putin crashed one if these in 2018 in testing.

I know it is disappointing to see Russia outperforming the West in weapons technology, all across the board, but it would never have happened if Nato and the West didn’t start encroaching right up to their borders.
The money wasted on Russia’s encroachment could have been spent on Trade and Commerce, greatly benefitting both countries and insuring Peace….well fed and prosperous populations don’t go to war….broke, hungry, debt ridden governments do.
“Si vis pacem, para bellum.”..................
I can’t spoon feed you, get busy finding and reading the latest US Defense Department report to Congress….very dismal.
Unlimited range? Really? Can it hit Pluto?
We had a rocket propulsion program that was discontinued in the, iirc, 60’s
It pulse releases a miniscule amount of fissionable mater and it goes critical resulting in an explosion that drives the device forward
This sounds like that .
??
Is this the same superior technology in use in the battlefield?
“It was developed by Putin as a defensive move in case Ukraine on his very border attacked and tried to conquer Russia.
A very shrewd on Putins part. Ukraine attacked Russia and tried to conquer it just 4 years later.”
How much did Putin pay you for that fake propaganda.
So Russia is catching up to the US’s 1960s SLAM technology.
Cancelled for radiation pollution concerns.
No concern for Russia which is not interested in building a world people can live in. Rule over the ashes and all....
It sounds like a sub-sonic, flying Chernobyl.
