Poroshenko says situation with gas supply in Ukraine stable (Video)
Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted Thursday of new weaponry he claims will render North Atlantic Treaty Organisation defenses "completely useless", delivering a warning to the world about Russia's resurgent military might.
The Russian leader said the country needs to focus on developing robotic technologies, artificial intelligence and big data and encouraging venture businesses.
Putin is running for re-election in mid-March on a platform that emphasizes his strength as a leader.
The so-called "invincible missile" is just one in a "line of strategic, nuclear-capable weapons that would be able to outmanoeuvre U.S. defences, suggesting a new arms race between Moscow and the West", says The Guardian.
"The creation of the strategic missile system with the essentially new military equipment, which is the maneuvering winged unit, the tests of which have already been completed, is a true technological breakthrough", Putin pointed out. Answering whom of the eight candidates they would support if the election was held next Sunday, 69.1 percent of respondents chose Putin, the pollster said.
Putin said the Avangard has an intercontinental range and can fly in the atmosphere at a speed 20 times the speed of sound.
"It will be practically invulnerable", he said. Moscow, with a defense budget barely more than 10% of the Pentagon's, is spending its taxpayer money on something that doesn't need to be developed and that most likely will never be used. "The response would be immediate", he said. "Its testing has been successfully completed".
Putin used the occasion to announce that Russian Federation has developed a slew of new strategic nuclear weapons that he said render NATO's us -led missile defences useless.
In a speech to Russian lawmakers, Putin played a video of an October test launch of the new cruise missile.
Nauert says the animation confirms that Russian Federation has been creating destabilizing weapons systems for more than a decade in "direct violation" of its treaty obligations. "US defense capabilities are and will remain second to none".
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy John Rood, who spoke at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said Putin's state-of-the-nation speech Thursday night in Moscow was "noteworthy", but consistent with others in the past.
"It is my duty to state this: Any use of nuclear weapons against Russian Federation or its allies, be it small-scale, medium-scale or any other scale, will be treated as a nuclear attack on our country".

SBI hikes deposit rates up to 75 bps
New home loan borrowers need not wait any longer in the hope of an interest rate cut if they are thinking of getting a loan. However, this is the first time after demonetisation that the bank has raised term deposit rate on amounts below Rs1 crore.
"We've been watching Russian Federation for a long time. We don't regard that as the behavior of a responsible worldwide player", she added. She says the US military is prepared to defend the nation.
"America is moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure our capabilities are unmatched".
Some analysts said President Vladimir Putin's statements about the new weapons may speed up what they see as an emerging arms race with the United States.
Putin claimed his new weapons will render US and European defenses useless, suggesting an escalation of the stakes in a long-running struggle for stability in the post-Cold War world.
This allows it to "overcome all existing and, I think, prospective air and missile defence systems", Putin said.
"Any use of nuclear weapons against Russian Federation or its allies, be it small-scale, medium-scale or any other scale, will be treated as a nuclear attack on our country", Putin said.
An underwater drone armed with a nuclear warhead powerful enough to sweep away coastal facilities and aircraft carriers. However, the United States spends billions of dollars a year on missile defense research.
"It was not attacking the United States", the reporter said. "There's probably enough there to make it a long-term threat, but they've got a real issue with not committing defense resources".
Putin has been in power for Russian Federation for more than 18 years.
He also promised to boost the country's economy and improve living standards in the years to come.
Putin noted that the tests of the compact nuclear reactor to power the new drone were completed last fall.
