Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed on Tuesday at a meeting on the Russian defense industry that his country is developing several advanced weapons that are capable of penetrating "any missile defenses."<br />Turning his attention to his allies Iran and North Korea, Putin turned the situation on its head by saying the two regimes - one possessing a nuclear arsenal and the other said to be well on its way to achieving one thanks to the recent nuclear deal - are not really threats, but rather that the US is seeking a nuclear hegemony.<br />Russia is not the only Communist power eyeing new weapons to defeat US systems; China tested a new missile to knock out US satellites on October 30, which could be a potentially crippling weapon to the American defense industry.
