Russia’s Nuclear Cruise Missiles: More Glorious Failures Ahead
In a dramatic show of 'super weaponry'—because nothing says advanced military tech like nuclear-powered cruise missiles and torpedoes Russia tested in late March 2018—Putin’s crew proudly announced successes with the Poseidon torpedo and Burevestnik missile, both boasting unlimited range and cartoonish speed of 125 mph. Despite fatal ‘accidents’ that released radioactive confetti and killed some poor souls (no biggie), Kremlin claims no interception method exists. Meanwhile, the RS-28 Sarmat ICBM, eerily nicknamed 'SS-18 Satan,' was tragically famous for 'catastrophic failure.' Trump chimed in vicariously warning with news of US subs nearby, upturning Cold War batshit bravado. Refreshingly, nuclear-powered cruise missiles remain a terrible idea according to unbiased experts—it’s the ‘radioactive wreckage’ that’s the real threat here.
