THE RUSSIANS HAVE RETURNED WITH A VENGEANCE WITH ITS LATEST NUCLEAR TIP MISSILE THE SSN-30A WHILST THE DEMOCRATS POTUS BHO CHAOS DESTROYS THE USA NUCLEAR DETERRENT BY GIVING AWAY THE NUCLEAR STORE–THE RED PUTIN RELEASES ITS LATEST MISSILE WITH NUCLEAR CAPABILITY AS WELL AS IT SEEMS BREAKING THE 1987 INF TREATY BY EXPANDING ITS NUCLEAR DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY WITH A BRAND NEW CRUISE MISSILE

Russia is nearing deployment of a new missile capable of targeting all of Europe with nuclear or conventional warheads, according to defense officials.

Disclosure of the new SSN-30A missile threat comes as Defense Secretary Ash Carter on Thursday warned that Moscow under Vladmir Putin is reemerging as an existential security threat.

Russia “is a very, very significant threat,” Carter told reporters at the Pentagon. “And I think a point that they’ve made, but I would certainly make: Russia poses an existential threat to the United States by virtue simply of the size of the nuclear arsenal that it has.”

Regarding the SSN-30A, designated as the “Kalibr” missile, Pentagon officials said the new naval weapon can be equipped with both nuclear and conventional warheads and can reach most of Europe when fired from ships in the Black Sea.

The longer-range version of the Kalibr can reach between 620 and 923 miles. A shorter range version can hit targets at distances of up to 180 miles.

A cruise missile variant also is being developed that officials said appears to violate the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.

A test of the Kalibr was conducted earlier this month, officials said.

The new supersonic missile is capable of being used to strike targets both at sea and on land.

“This system is about ready to be deployed,” said one official who voiced concerns for U.S. interests and those of allies in Europe. “It allows the Russians to cover most of Europe from the Black Sea on naval vessels.
