Russia covered up the deadly nuclear reactor explosion in August during the salvage at sea of one of Vladimir Putin’s new superweapons, a nuclear-powered cruise missile called Skyfall, a senior State Department official disclosed.
The reactor exploded Aug. 8 off the coast of the northern Russian town of Nenoska, killing seven Russians on a barge in the White Sea as they were overseeing the recovery of a sunken Skyfall. The missile had been sitting on the seafloor for about year after a failed flight test, said State Department official Thomas G. DiNanno. More
Actually, it’s probably only a modern version of the Doomsday Device described in Dr. Strangelove.
Not to worry.

There’s a Mine-Gap now?
A nuclear powered cruise missile? How does that work?
Well, that’s just too bad, now, isn’t it?
Good thing they weren’t NoKos or they’d be in REAL trouble!

hypersonic weapon. A defense contractor tolm me that 2 months ago.
It has been determined that the problem with our Skyfall program was the defective uranium that Comrade Hillary sold us.
Can’t see how to use nuclear power to accelerate the plasma with sufficient volume and velocity to power a cruise missile.
Somebody hep a bruddah out, heyah!
Maybe it be s’more o’dat musselman majick carpet shit?
Yo? Got NASA back on their feets, an shit …

Ion propulsion engines were developed in the U.S. in the 50s and 60s, but the project was shelved because other than deep space probes, there is little practical use. Very low thrust.
and i hear it was invented by professor c. hiknlitel phD
but sadly he was killed in the blast.
the sky is falling!
Mom was right, you can put an eye out with one of those.
The only reason I can see for nuke power
cruise missles is loitering time.
Put it up and it could stay near a target
for days or weeks. But why not use a bomber
if you aren’t in a hurry?
Or it could be designed to make the reactor
a nuclear bomb.
I understand they claim a hyper-velocity missle
but that doesn’t “cruise”.
Hoping it was a US laser that took it out.
Why not “Moonraker” or “Goldeneye”, or even “Thunderball”?
