Moscow does not threaten anyone but is steadily developing its nuclear arsenal, the Russian president has said
The latest additions to Russia’s nuclear arsenal, the Burevestnik cruise missile and Poseidon underwater drone, are set to ensure the country has “strategic parity” throughout the entire 21st century, President Vladimir Putin has said.
The Russian leader made the remarks on Tuesday during a ceremony to award those who worked on developing the new cutting-edge weaponry. The recent successful tests of the new systems are a result of the “long-announced work,” and should not come as a surprise, he stated.
“Our country is not threatening anyone. Russia, like all other nuclear powers, is developing its nuclear and strategic potential,” Putin said.
