Vladimir Putin launches 4,000mph supersonic missile that could reach UK in 13 minutes

Vladimir Putin has unveiled a terrifying super weapon that is in breach of NATO's missile defence systems, according to Russian missile experts.
Russian forces boast the missile can go so fast it will be impossible to shoot down - and could even get from the country's nuclear weapon bases in Kaliningrad to the UK in 13 minutes.
The bold boasts come from the country's Tactical Missiles Corporation which revealed details about the Kremlin's new experimental weapon this week.
The release of the looming Object 4202 has fuelled fears about Russian aggression as tensions rise between his country and the rest of Europe.
The super weapon is being designed specifically to sit atop Russia's new nation killer nuke Satan 2, which was unveiled last month.
The Object 4202 rocket was fired thousands of miles from the Yasny Launch Base in Russia to the far-east peninsula of Kamchatka with Kremlin officials hailing the test a "success".
The warhead is all but invisible to US anti-missile systems and moves at such high speed that it is near impossible to intercept.
It will reportedly be able to carry three of Russia’s new RS-28 Sarmat super-nukes.
They are packed with up to 16 nuclear warheads according to pictures revealed online from the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau.
The weapons – which will be ready for launch in 2018 – will make the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like “popguns”, experts have said.
A message posted alongside the picture said: “In accordance with the Decree of the Russian Government 'On the State Defense Order for 2010 and the planning period 2012-2013', the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau was instructed to start design and development work on the Sarmat.
"In June 2011, the



Russian Ministry of Defense signed a state contract for the Sarmat's development.
"The prospective strategic missile system is being developed in order to create an assured and effective nuclear deterrent for Russia's strategic forces.”
Moscow weapons experts have said the so-called Satan 2 will be able to evade radar defences and could travel far enough to strike London or the East and West Coast of the US, according to the Daily Star.
Tensions between the UK and Russia are at breaking point with prime minister Theresa May having recently blasted Putin for "undermining the West's efforts" to provide a political settlement in Syria.
Putin has since been cosying up with US president-elect Donald Trump as they two are set to meet in person for crunch talks on defeating ISIS and global terrorism.
The new friendship has sparked fears throughout the rest of NATO - fuelled by Trump slamming the organisation as "obsolete" during his campaign.
He is feared to be planning to completely withdraw from the alliance – leaving Europe as easy pickings for Putin.
The two leaders spoke by telephone earlier this week when they confirmed their commitment to building a 'strong and enduring relationship' between the two countries.

Trump planned to visit Moscow before he is officially sworn in on January 20 but was persuaded against it by his advisors, according to Russian newspaper Izvestia.
But a Russian government spokesperson brushed aside reports the pair had agreed to meet in January.
Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov told state media today: "It is true that during a conversation they talked about intentions to resume contacts, to arrange a meeting, but it has not been mentioned when this will happen."
