Russia Plans New Generation of Weapons
MOSCOW Feb. 18 — After two failed missile launches during highly publicized military maneuvers, President Vladimir Putin announced plans Wednesday to deploy a new generation of strategic weapons and said Moscow may build new missile defenses.

Some analysts said the new weapons may be warheads that zigzag on their way to a target, an idea that dates to the Soviet era. Putin did not say exactly what they were.

Putin spoke after watching Wednesday's launch of a military satellite from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in northern Russia, which was part of a massive exercise of the nation's strategic forces described as the largest in more than 20 years.

3. russia has
a advanced jet that is as good and maybe better than anything we have on the drawing board. they also have an advanced assualt rifle that fires 2 slugs with one trigger pull. they don`t have the money to build the jets and the rifles are to expensive to sell after market. yes the new cold war is starting..thanks to the chicken hawks that never saw a day of combat in their lives....
