Russia Unveils 'Satan 2' Missile Powerful Enough To 'Wipe Out UK, France Or Texas' (telegraph.co.uk)
A report from The Telegraph: Russia has released the first image of its new nuclear missile, a weapon so powerful that it could wipe out nearly all of the United Kingdom or France.
The RS-28 Sarmat thermonuclear-armed ballistic missile was commissioned
in 2011 and is expected to come into service in 2018.
The first images
of the massive missile were declassified on Sunday and have now been published for the first time.
It has been dubbed "Satan 2," as it will replace the RS-36M, the
1970s-era weapon referred to by Nato as the Satan missile.
Sputnik, the
Russian government-controlled news agency, reported in May that the
missile could destroy an area "the size of Texas or France."
Russian
media report that the missile will weigh up to 10 tons with the capacity
to carry up to 10 tons of nuclear cargo.
With that type of payload, it
could deliver a blast some 2,000 times more powerful than the bombs
dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Russia reportedly tested a hypersonic
warhead in April that is apparently intended for use on the Satan 2
missiles.
The warhead is designed to be impossible to intercept because
it does not move on a set trajectory.
A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected as it slipped undetected by the US Navy into the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks and its travel in strategic U.S. waters was only confirmed after it had left the sensitive region.
The US military didn't even know about the presence of the Akula-class nuclear submarine until after it had already left the gulf, still carrying a payload of long-range missiles.
The revelation is part of a startling trend of Russian incursions as the former Cold War foe ramps up its military might under the leadership of President Vladimir Putin.
Apparently the Russians have a submarine way more advanced than the US Navy 20 year old nuclear sub featured in the above video.
The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative news site, quoted anonymous military sources as saying the sub was in the gulf for a month.
The exact time frame of the vessel's presence was not clear.
'The Akula was built for one reason and one reason only: To kill US Navy ballistic missile submarines and their crews,' a source told the Beacon.
A.A. Allen has said that he had a vision and in that vision America had a female president.
July 4, 1954, when Allen had the vision, it was inconceivable that a woman could ever be the president of the United States.
Here is some of that vision:
"As I stood atop the Empire State Building, I could see the Statue of Liberty, illuminating the gateway to the new world. Here, spread before me like an animated map, is an area 60 or 80 miles in diameter. I was amazed that the Spirit of the Lord should so move me, there atop the Empire State building.
Why should I feel such a surge of His Spirit and power there?
Then suddenly I saw from the Atlantic and from the
Pacific and out of the Gulf rocket-like objects that seemed to come up
like fish leaping out of the water.
High into the air they leaped, each headed in a different direction, but every one toward the United States.
On the ground the sirens screamed louder, and up from the ground I saw similar rockets beginning to ascend.
To me these appeared to be interceptor rockets although they arose from different points all over the United States; however, none of them seemed to be successful in intercepting the rockets that had risen from the ocean on every side.

These rockets finally reached their maximum height,
slowly turned over and fell back toward the earth in defeat.
Then suddenly the rockets which had leaped out of the oceans like fish all exploded at once.
The explosion was ear-splitting.
The next thing which I saw was a huge ball of fire.
The only thing I have ever seen which resembled the thing I saw in my vision was the picture of the explosion of the H-bomb somewhere in the South Pacific.
In my vision it was so real that I seemed to feel a searing heat from it."

SOVIET DELTA SUBMARINE FIRING SS-N-18 MISSILES - Edward L. Cooper, 1987
A
Soviet DELTA III nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine firing
SS-N-18 missiles. The DELTA III submarine was 155 meters long, had 16
missile firing tubes, and carried SS-N-18 nuclear missiles.
Here is an older documentary below, one can only wonder how advanced the Russians are today...if the Russians deconstructed this particular submarine the question arises,"how advanced is the sub that replaces it?"
