The Pentagon said Thursday the U.S. was "not surprised" by the new nuclear missile systems disclosed Thursday by Russian President Vladimir Putin and said "the American people should rest assured that we are fully prepared."

A U.S. official says Russia's new nuclear-powered cruise missile is still being tested and has crashed in recent testing.

On Thursday, Putin announced that one of those missiles, a new cruise missile would render existing missile defense systems obsolete and that its nuclear-powered engine would give it unlimited range.

In a speech to Russian lawmakers, Putin played a video of an October test launch of the new cruise missile.

A U.S. official tells ABC News that the U.S. has been monitoring Russia's work on a the new missile for a while.

According to the official, the missile unveiled by Putin is still in the testing phase, and has crashed more than once in recent testing, including during a test in the Russian Arctic.

1. What happens in the mind of a trumper when they see Putin threatening us

while knowing he controls trump?

I mean what sort of mental gymnastics do you have to do to make this OK in your head?

Nadia Comaneci could not keep up with it.

2. So scary, lol!

Pooty-Poot is almost as lame as Chump.

3. Nuclear powered cruise missiles are crashing in the Arctic? Isn't that concerning,

or is that just me?

4. The USA had a nuclear powered rocket? Engine

Tested in Nevada where it still is, the entire testing facility is highly contaminated including the railroad it was transported on from the storage building to the test area.

We also had a nuclear powered cruise missile that would contaminate all the earth under its flight path, not that it mattered due to the explosion at its target.

I read a book called "Area 51" written by a woman author that was really eye opening as to what she was able to uncover and report on, I can't remember her name right now but she did a stellar job on the book.

And these are just what what story's she was allowed to print, who knows what else has been created?.

6. The US worked on this in the 60's with Project Pluto

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Pluto

The proposed use for nuclear-powered ramjets would be to power a cruise missile, called SLAM, for Supersonic Low Altitude Missile. In order to reach ramjet speed, it would be launched from the ground by a cluster of conventional rocket boosters. Once it reached cruising altitude and was far away from populated areas, the nuclear reactor would be made critical. Since nuclear power gave it almost unlimited range, the missile could cruise in circles over the ocean until ordered "down to the deck" for its supersonic dash to targets in the Soviet Union. The SLAM as proposed would carry a payload of many nuclear weapons to be dropped on multiple targets, making the cruise missile into an unmanned bomber. After delivering all its warheads, the missile could then spend weeks flying over populated areas at low altitudes, causing tremendous ground damage with its shock wave and radiation from its unshielded reactor. When it finally lost enough power to fly, and crash-landed, the engine would have a good chance of spewing deadly radiation for months to come.

On May 14, 1961, the world's first nuclear ramjet engine, "Tory-IIA", mounted on a railroad car, roared to life for a few seconds. Three years later, "Tory-IIC" was run for five minutes at full power. Despite these and other successful tests, the Pentagon, sponsor of the "Pluto project", had second thoughts. The weapon was considered "too provocative",[2] and it was believed that it would compel the Soviets to construct a similar device, against which there was no known defense. Intercontinental ballistic missile technology had proven to be more easily developed than previously thought, reducing the need for such highly capable cruise missiles. On July 1, 1964, seven years and six months after it was started, "Project Pluto" was canceled.

7. I suspect Putin's missile capability also depends

on Trump cancelling any defense effort.
