On April 12, Putin left his bunker to meet with Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin. And on April 14, the latter gave an interview to Channel One, where he talked about one of the topics that the two discussed – the creation of new ballistic missiles.

Russia threatens again with weapons

According to the media, quoting Rogozin, Roscosmos is engaged in creating “combat missile systems and intercontinental ballistic missiles like no other in the world.” It was not specified what exactly these missiles mean and what unique features they will display.

Of course, I want to joke here, they will be made of wood and will fly with the energy of Patriarch Kirill’s prayers – no one has such analogues – but there is something to think about without joking. Russian industry today suffers from a total shortage of resources and components. While industries such as mechanical engineering, aerospace, medicine, consumer electronics, and even book printing are nearly at an impasse, it’s unclear what the invading state hopes for in the case of missile construction, which requires sophisticated new technologies that Russia won’t buy. through sanctions.

However, the Kremlin-controlled media has traditionally proclaimed its reliance on success. Yes, TASS propagandists write that Putin believes Roscosmos will cope with its task.

You can guess that the conversation was primarily due to the research and development of Roscosmos, our companies, our combat unit Roscosmos to create the most modern combat missile systems and intercontinental ballistic missiles like no other in the world … convinced that we will overcome this task,
– says Rogozin.

As is often the case in Russia, the project is likely to exist only in words and on paper. They’ll forget about it for a while, and then, if they ever mention it, they’ll make a statement about postponing the deadline.
