THE WAR ZONE EXPANSION TO OUTER SPACE!
Russian news site Sputnik, has published an article which says that Russian military claims that it is building a mini-version of the International Space Station, with the main purpose of carrying nuclear missiles.
The mini-shuttle is robotic and resembles a smaller, remote-controlled replica of the ISS.
The robotic mini-shuttle, is similar to the U.S. Air Force’s secretive X-37B robotic mini-shuttle.
It will be carrying nuclear warheads and will be able to launch an attack anywhere in the world within a matter of two hours. Sources from the Russian military say that the project is making good progress and might be ready and running by 2020.
The main idea is that the bomber will take off from a normal airfield to patrol Russian airspace. If commanded it will ascend into outer space, strike a target with nuclear warheads and then return back to its base.
It's lift-off mass must be 20-25 metric tonnes for it to be a strike aircraft .
This could be a bluff, however the mere thought of fast-nuking space planes lurking in outer space is terrifying.
Whether this is a bluff or not, we will find out in the near future. One thing is certain the further the technology progresses, the scarier warfare becomes.
