Russia successfully tests stealth NUKE TRAIN that can travel 1,500 miles a day and blend in with other locomotives before launching its missile.
December 2016
Russia is developing a secret nuke train, which can travel 1,500 miles in a day towards Putin's enemies before launching rockets.
The trains, packed with ballistic missiles, will be disguised as ordinary passenger or freight trains, making them virtually impossible to identify.
Chilling test footage shows the trains can be stopped in their tracks at a moment's notice to deploy the huge rocket launchers.
It sounds like something from a James Bond film, but the trains are one step closer to being put into use, following a successful test launch on missiles for the Barguzin 'railway-based combat rocket system', carried out at the Plesetsk cosmodrome two weeks ago.
The stealth mobile weapons platforms, which carries six Yars or Yars-M thermonuclear ICBMs and their command units, are expected to come into operation between 2018 and 2020.
The menacing missiles carry four huge 250 kiloton warheads each, and have a range as long as 6,800 miles.
The missiles are normally launched from the road, but the nuke trains mean they will be able to travel further in much less time.
The 'undetectable' deadly trains will be poised to strike at a moment's notice on the dawn of World War 3.
Russian defence expert Victor Murakhovsky said the new trains would prove to be a 'sheer nightmare' for foreign spies.
