Putin Brags That Russians Have The Biggest, Sleekest Missiles
(Moscow) President Vladimir Putin boasted Tuesday that Russia has missiles capable of penetrating any missile defense system, Russian news agenicies said.
"Russia has tested missile systems that no one in the world has," the ITAR-Tass, Interfax and RIA Novosti news agencies reported him as saying at a news conference. "No one can match the size and strength of Russian missiles, which can slip right through any attempts to resist our Russian pressure."
Putin believes that other nations should respect Russian missile prowess.
"Yes. We Russians know how to use our fine missiles," he said. "We polish them and keep them ready to proudly stand guard for the world to admire."
Putin said the new missiles were specially designed to create a powerful explosion.
"You will want to stand back when a Russian missile explodes, " he warned. "It's a quite a rush to watch when a Russian missile goes off, but we hold nothing back in the payload."
Putin added that he desires that Russian missiles always stay in their nice, warm Russian silos, rather than chasing after American targets.
"We like to keep our hands on our missiles," he chuckled. \
