Russian TV ‘accidentally’ broadcasts secret nuclear plans

A close-up of a confidential document detailing “Ocean Multipurpose System: Status-6” was broadcast for several seconds by Channel One Russian Federation and NTV during coverage of a meeting between Vladimir Putin and military officials.

Scary, right? Well, a few people speculate the footage, which has since been deleted from the stations’ websites, was actually aired on objective with the intent to scare Western countries.

In what observers are dismissing as a hackneyed piece of propaganda, the video, which aired on two channels heavily policed by the Kremlin, is being viewed as a deliberate mishap created to trouble the West.

“It’s true that a few secret information was caught by the camera and therefore it was subsequently removed”, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to The Associated Press. “We hope that this won’t happen again”.

According to the Russian state news agency, TASS, Putin today said Russia would in time develop its own anti-ballistic missile defense systems, but “at this first stage … we will work on strike systems able to overcome any missile defense system”.

Speaking during Wednesday’s meeting with arms industries officials, Putin said that the ongoing military upgrade is a compensation for the years of insufficient funding that followed the Soviet collapse.

“The plan is to deliver a 100-megaton nuclear bomb to the USA shores”, Mr Felgenhauer told Fox. The drone will also reportedly have a maximum range of 5,400 nautical miles (10,000 kilometers) while traveling at a depth of 1,000 meters.

A report by the U.S. Congressional Research Service in 2014 said Russian Federation “seems to have increased its reliance on nuclear weapons in its national security concept”.

Apparently, Russian Federation has plans for a long-range autonomous nuclear torpedo capable of carrying a massive warhead that could lay waste to seaports and shower coastal cities with radioactive contamination.

It remains unclear if such a system is indeed being developed or if it was presented as just one of the options the Russian military could hypothetically offer.

Russia’s been pretty cagey lately, what with the whole Ukraine thing, so any development like this is sure to ratchet up the tension even further. The nuclear submarine weapons system is being created to supersede and destroy North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and U.S.’s missile defense systems and to bring “assured unacceptable damage to the enemy”, rendering regions futile for both military and economic life.
