Russian ‘Star Wars’ missile to shoot down ‘space weapons’ now in combat mode
Показать описание
VLADIMIR Putin's ultra-secret satellite-destroying "Star Wars" missile capable of shooting down "space weapons" and nukes has been put into service as tensions with the West hit boiling point.
According to a Russian defence ministry source, the terrifying air defence system - dubbed the S-550 - "has entered combat duty" after passing state trials.
It's reported the covert weapon is capable of "striking spacecraft, ballistic missile re-entry vehicles and hypersonic targets at altitudes of tens of thousands of kilometres”.
The deployment claim comes amid escalating tensions between Moscow and the West as Putin seeks to strong-arm US president Joe Biden into conceding controversial security guarantees including a Kremlin veto on Ukraine joint NATO.
It follows a frenzy of major Russian war games in recent weeks, and a reported 100,000-plus troops massed close to Ukraine triggering fears of an invasion early next year.
