Kuzkin's mother, Vladimir Putin and the foreign reaction that followed
When the commander in chief began to talk in detail about how the latest Russian hypersonic weapon breaks through everything that is possible to break through in modern military realities, the attention of the public and experts (from those who followed the performance) was completely absorbed. And this is not only about the Russian public and Russian experts. Even to a greater degree, the reaction was noted by foreign partners who were looking for words about how President Putin’s statements about the failed Western campaign to contain Russia were commented. Someone was in a hurry looking for what, according to previously voiced data, foreign hypersonic and laser military "toys" are capable of, and wondering how, like a "wild, dirty, barbarous" Russia, in general, something high-tech in the military industry could turn out.
After some thoughts in the media and social networks, comments of individual specialists began to appear (or “experts” - in quotes), which found a “logical” way out. Putin, they say, is lying — well, Russian engineers cannot, for a salary at 20 thousand rubles, create something that will surpass any foreign counterparts in virtually all the main characteristics without exception. Like, what is there "Sarmat" and "Dagger", what is there "Avant-garde" ... To whom he tells all this ... Is it the case of outstanding American, Canadian, Chinese, Japanese, German, Israeli or Ukrainian specialists ... They, and only they, can create combat lasers and missiles with hypersonic characteristics, and the Russians - well, perhaps, cuttings from spades or a Mosin rifle ...
Well, apparently, it is easier and calmer to talk like that. Quietly, first of all, for such kind of pseudo-experts themselves, who are seriously confident that nothing is produced in Russia except honey, hemp and linen shirts, and even more so it is not developed. With all the engineers in the cramming bout, and all the teachers a step from the exam ...
Well, if they are so calmer - then let them. Nobody is going to persuade ... And C-300 with C-400 from Russia is cardboard, and the “Calibers” are inflatable, and EW systems exist only on paper - yes, yes ...
For some reason, the mere mention of the transfer, for example, of the Iskander-M under Kaliningrad, is enough for those who have Russian equipment for complacency to belong to cans for the beginning of incessant verbal diarrhea. It is strange, why suddenly.

In addition, we have begun to develop a new generation of missiles. In particular, at present, the Ministry of Defense, together with the enterprises of the rocket and space industry, has begun an active phase of testing a new missile complex with a heavy intercontinental rocket. We called it "Sarmat".
Weighing more than 200 tons, it has a short active leg of flight, which makes it difficult to intercept missile defense. The "Governor" range - 11 thousands of kilometers, the new system has almost no range limitations. He is able to attack targets both across the North and the South Pole. Because of its characteristics, there are no, even promising, missile defense systems.

Vladimir Putin spoke about hypersonic weapons and noted that Russia already has them. Its pilot operation began exactly 3 a month ago in the Southern Military District. We are talking about a hypersonic rocket "Dagger".

Against the background of those who declared all this “fairy tales”, there are many Western experts who took the information voiced by the president of Russia more than seriously. In the Norwegian “Aftenposten”, the newest Russian weapons are called “Doomsday weapons”, and Putin’s message to the Federal Assembly itself is “something that has never happened in this style”.
From the material:
The German newspaper Handelsblatt noted that Vladimir Putin’s speech was aimed at ensuring that no one doubts the need to take Russia into account. The submission says that the latest Russian weapons, according to Putin, are not directed against anyone, they are a restraining shield capable of providing security on the planet.
The French Liberation writes that the words of the Russian President that “no one wanted to listen to us - let them listen now”, said after the demonstration of the latest developments in the field of armaments, caused prolonged applause. The authors note that Russia condemns the attitude that the Western powers demonstrate to the country.
In the British edition of "The Telegraph", the author paid most attention to the fact that Putin’s speech "was interrupted dozens of times by coughing." At the same time, the material added that the statements of the President of Russia about the invulnerable modern Russian weapons "should be taken into account when dealing with Russia." That is, again, a hint of sanctions? That's just what? .. Those, after which, Russia will have something else? ..
In the American media, which were already preparing to "go to bed," - turmoil. Some write that Putin is bluffing, others - that Washington foolishly spent hundreds of billions of dollars, and in response received many times increased Russian military power, which now precisely "threatens" not only American "democracy" but also the very existence of the United States. American experts are especially depressed by the fact that after Vladimir Putin’s speech, the program itself on deploying missile defense in Eastern Europe (and anywhere else) hangs in the air. At the same time, not a word was said that the very speech of the President of Russia was actually provoked by the United States - by way of an agreement on missile defense.
And only the Ukrainian media continue to “resist Russian aggression,” recounting multiple options for how the Ukrainian Armed Forces will take Moscow ...
