Russia’s new powerful S-500 which can destroy incoming hypersonic missiles is being delivered to armed forces and is ready for use, Vladimir Putin has said
It comes after Putin just days ago threatened former countries of the Soviet Union, Lithuania and Kazakhstan, of military action if they defied Russia.
Lithuania was rapidly becoming a flashpoint after it blocked goods sanctioned by the EU from reaching Russian exclave Kaliningrad.
Putin henchmen were also warning of the threat of war in Kazakhstan after Putin was “humiliated” by Kazakh leader Kassym-Jomart Tokayev when they shared a platform together at Russia’s major economic summit in St Petersburg.
In a speech to military graduates in Moscow on Tuesday, Putin spoke of plans to deploy the powerful S-500, which he said was already being delivered to Russia’s armed forces.
He said: "We will continue to develop and strengthen our armed forces, taking into account potential military threats and risks, and based on the lessons of modern armed conflicts, and improve their combat strength."
The Russian tyrant said the powerful S-500 is already being delivered to the Russian armed forces.
He continued: "Among the priority areas is equipping troops with new weapons systems that will determine the combat efficiency of the army and navy in the coming years and decades."
