i've watched several films purporting to be russia's "new" missile, capable of launching nukes.
quite frankly, it doesn't look like too much to get excited about. it came out of the launcher crooked, and when what appears to be a single motor ignited, it didn't look like it "righted" the missile very steadily ..... a little hitch in the gitalong, by my lights. ..... technically speaking, it had an excessive squiggle in the rear end ..... whatever it was, they don't appear to have the "bugs" out of it just yet.
to me, it appears to be more of the same old stuff. who cares? and, until it is proven deployed in proven numbers, it reminds me of nothing so much as a whole host of russian/soviet weapons that were announced and were never built and/or deployed. including a jet that the press got all "fussed up" about being the equal of an f-22, and a bit later it proved to be a plywood mock up that never got off the ground.
the soviets/russians are great liars about such matters, and the press gobbles the slop right up. samo samo.
