Russia Releases Videos Offering Unprecedented Look at Its Six New Super Weapons

Here is a great podcast about the nuclear-powered cruise missile (the one that spews radiation as its exhaust, is >180dB loud from the ground, and has unlimited range) - and a public analysis of its testing in the arctic. https://www.armscontrolwonk.com/archive/1205364/russias-cras...

It comes with some strong shout-outs to Planet (satellite startup), and goes into some technical detail about how they've gone about geo-locating where the tests occurred.

Very scary/crazy weapons here...

As I can remember previous video of their 'super' nuclear-powered missile proved to be a complete render, since prototype flew without any nuclear propulsion and therefore for a short time.

Are we sure they're the ones who released them? It could be them, I don't see why it wouldn't, could be anybody. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, I guess it'd been five or six minutes since I read something in the media trying to stir people up about Russia. I'm still trying to figure out just why this full-court press is being put on, when there seems to be so little to be gained by brinksmanship, but that's all above my pay grade.

The Russian/Soviet/Russian defense industry has a pretty long history of fiddling with over-the-top weapons systems, very few of which ever are quite as successful as feared.
