Russia has tested a terrifying new 9,000mph “star wars” ballistic missile capable of destroying US satellites in space.
The rocket was launched from the Sary-Shagan test site in Kazakhstan and wiped out a dummy target, according to the Kremlin.
Footage released by Putin’s Defence Ministry showed the weapon – “designed to protect against air and space attacks” – taking off in a ball of flames.
“The new missile … has reliably confirmed its characteristics in a series of tests,” claimed Andrey Dyomin, commander of the 1st air and missile defence army of Russian aerospace forces.
However, no details were released about the missile’s precise performance in the test, or the target, and the weapon remains shrouded in secrecy.
