MOSCOW, March 3 (Itar-Tass) - RIA Novosti. The leakage of information about the latest Sarmat missile system in 2007 was intentional and was intended for the United States, a military-diplomatic source said.
"We said that the creation of a global missile defense system by Washington will lead to nothing, moreover, back in 2007, they specially made leaks for the strategic missile system Sarmat," he said.
At the same time nothing was reported about the work on the cruise missile with the nuclear installation - in this case, all measures were taken to preserve the secrecy, he added.
"But all the necessary tests for this weapon were carried out in full," the source said. According to him, these results are a 100% basis to assert that the project is "polished and completed".
"It's time for the West to accept another reality, and not continue to talk about their missile defense system and other weapons of yesterday." No one except Russia has hypersonic weapons, "the source concluded.
President Vladimir Putin, addressing the Federal Assembly, spoke about the latest weapons developed in Russia. Thus, the strategic missile complex "Sarmat" should replace the "Voevod", created in the Soviet era. According to the president, Sarmat has practically no limitations in range, it is capable of attacking targets both through the North and South Pole.
Another novelty, introduced by the president, was a cruise missile with a nuclear power plant. The range of its flight is also practically unlimited, and the trajectory is unpredictable, which makes it invulnerable to all existing and prospective systems of both missile defense and air defense. The name of this missile is not yet available, and Putin offered to select him at the contest, which is organized on the website of the Defense Ministry. There you can also offer names for other advanced weapons.
