In recent days, when Russia-US relations have fallen into a low ebb, Russia has successively shown a tough stance on the nuclear issue and demonstrated its nuclear capabilities, while Trump has also made a tit-for-tat response.

On October 27 local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law on abolishing the Plutonium Management and Disposal Agreement with the U.S. government. The Russia-U.S. government-to-government plutonium disposal agreement was signed by the two countries in 2000 and ratified in 2011. It stipulates that each party will dispose of 34 tons of weapons-grade plutonium declared to exceed the needs of military plans, enough to make thousands of nuclear warheads. According to the Russian presidential decree and passed federal laws, the validity of this document was suspended in 2016.

Trump: U.S. nuclear submarines near Russian coast

Earlier, Russia stated that due to U.S. sanctions, the Aid to Ukraine Act, NATO's eastward expansion, and the strengthening of U.S. military deployment in Eastern Europe, the agreement had been suspended in accordance with Russian presidential decrees and relevant federal laws. Another reason for the suspension is that the United States tried to unilaterally change the procedure for processing plutonium without Russia's consent. In addition, in view of the fact that the United States failed to fulfill any conditions, it also adopted new anti-Russian measures, which fundamentally changed the strategic balance when the agreement was signed and posed a further threat to strategic stability.

The abolition of this agreement effectively ended one of the post-Cold War nuclear security agreements between Russia and the United States.

In addition, Russia previously announced that it had successfully conducted the last test of the Haiyan nuclear-powered cruise missile. Putin said that the Haiyan nuclear-powered cruise missile is a "unique in the world" product and there is still much work to be done to put the weapon into use.

In response, Trump said such tests were "unsuitable" when Russia should focus on peace talks with Ukraine.

Trump also said, ¡°We have a nuclear submarine, the world¡¯s most powerful nuclear submarine, near their coast,¡± so the missiles ¡°do not have to fly 8,000 miles (about 12,875 kilometers).¡±

"A war that was supposed to end in a week will soon enter its fourth year." Trump, who is visiting Asia, said aboard the US presidential plane Air Force One that Russia should let the Russia-Ukraine conflict end instead of test missiles.

Press Secretary of the Russian President:

"Haiyan" nuclear-powered cruise missile test should not affect Russia-US interaction

On October 27, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov stated that the test of the Haiyan nuclear-powered cruise missile should not affect Russia's interaction with the United States. "There is nothing here that could strain Russia-US relations."

Peskov said that although it is open to dialogue, Russia is still guided by national interests and committed to ensuring security. "The development of new weapon systems is based on this mission orientation, including the announced Haiyan system. For Russia, security is a crucial issue."

He also said that at present, Russia-US relations are at the lowest level, and there are only weak efforts to restore relations. Russia is open to contact.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov believes that since Trump¡¯s meeting with Putin in Alaska, under the influence of Europe, Trump¡¯s position on the question of lasting peace in Ukraine has changed ¡°fundamentally¡±.

Lavrov accused European "hawks" and Ukraine President Zelensky of putting "tremendous, unbelievable pressure" on Washington to prevent any US-Russian cooperation, and reiterated the Kremlin's position that European allies are hindering peace efforts. Regarding the prospect of another meeting between U.S. and Russian leaders in the future, Lavrov said,"It depends on the person who initiated the process."

Lavrov added that since he spoke to U.S. Secretary of State Rubio, Washington had not offered "any new meeting or dialogue" with him. Russia will respond based on the US proposal.

"Haiyan" flies 14,000 kilometers Putin: The West has no defense means

On October 26, local time, Russia announced the successful test of the "Haiyan" nuclear-powered cruise missile, the missile flew 14,000 kilometers and still did not reach the limit range, and was called by Putin "the world's unique weapon".

Subsequently, U.S. President Trump called this move "inappropriate", the Russian President's press secretary replied that the "Haiyan" test "should not affect Russian-US interaction", the Russian side at this time announced the test success, what is the consideration?"

The ¡°Haiyan¡± flight distance is 14,000 km.

Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin, while inspecting a Russian Joint Forces cluster command station, said the "Haiyan" nuclear-powered cruise missile has completed a "decisive test".

Gerasimov, Chief of Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, said that the Haiyan nuclear-powered cruise missile is a "unique in the world" product and there is still much work to be done to put the weapon into use.

Grazimov said the "Haiyan" nuclear-powered cruise missile completed a test flight of 14,000 kilometers on October 21st, and did not reach the capability limit of the weapon, "the performance characteristics of the "Haiyan" nuclear-powered cruise missile enable it to ensure "precise strikes on tightly protected targets at almost any distance."

Putin has ordered the preparation of necessary infrastructure for the deployment of the "Haiyan" nuclear-powered cruise missile, and clarified its weapon level and potential use. Earlier, Putin had mentioned the test of the "Haiyan" nuclear-powered cruise missile and said that "the West has no means to defend against this weapon".

Putin: There is no similar product of this type of cruise missile in the world

Previously, Russian nuclear tested advanced weapon samples during nuclear force exercises, and also carried out the "Trinity" actual combat training launch of strategic nuclear forces.

Putin said that Russia's "nuclear shield" has confirmed its reliability, and its nuclear power is at the highest level in the world, and announced that the key task of testing the "Haiyan" cruise missile equipped with a nuclear power plant and an ultra-long range has been fully achieved. Putin also said that there is no similar product of this type of cruise missile in the world.

Grazimov said that during the test flight, the missile successfully completed all designated vertical and horizontal maneuvering, demonstrating its powerful evasion of missile and air defense systems, and that the technical characteristics of the ¡°Haiyan¡± missile enable it to hit defensive targets at any height with guaranteed accuracy.

According to Russian media, "Haiyan" is planned to be in service in 2027.

What¡¯s special about the sea?

In fact, Putin first disclosed the missile project in March 2018 and said the missile would circumvent the U.S. missile defense system.

According to reports,"Haiyan" uses a small nuclear reactor for propulsion, which also gives it a longer range and longer battery life. Previous data from Russian military magazines showed that Haiyan's theoretical range is between 10,000 and 20,000 kilometers, which means that no matter where the missile is deployed in Russia, it can hit targets on the U.S. mainland. The report also said that the missile can fly as low as 50 to 100 meters above the ground, making it more difficult for it to be intercepted by defense systems.

The Russian side has announced that its nuclear-powered cruise missile "Haiyan" has successfully flown for 15 hours, completed a range of 14,000 kilometers, technically speaking, it inherited the technology of the Soviet small nuclear reactor, "Haiyan"'s flight time is not calculated in hours as units, but in units calculated in the sky and even longer time, in the airspace of the relevant hot spots, it can continue to fly low, it can even choose the assignment of tasks at any time, it can also be recalled.

From this perspective, it is a mobile and mandatory nuclear deterrent that not only puts great pressure on its opponents, but the launch of Russia's nuclear-powered cruise missile emphasizes a more strategic approach. Or a geopolitical signal rather than a simple technological leap.

Putin¡¯s speech

Why was the ¡°Haiyan¡± test successfully announced at this time?

Sun Zhiji, director of the Russian Institute for Eastern and Central Asia Research at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the Russian side was reminding the US that the new Treaty on Strategic Weapons Reduction would soon fail, and hoped to continue dialogue with the US on this issue.After the test of the nuclear-powered missile, the Russian side immediately informed the US side of the relevant information, and actually hoped to engage in dialogue with the United States.

Some analysts also said that since the White House announced that it would build the "Golden Dome" missile defense system, the "Haiyan" missile has become more important to Russia. Stanislav Krapivnik, a former U.S. Army officer, said that the "Haiyan" missile is a weapon that can change the rules of the game and will definitely have a huge impact on the U.S. "Golden Dome" missile defense system plan. "Usually, radar systems and defense systems against ballistic missiles are set up according to ballistic trajectories from countries that may launch missiles at the United States to the United States. They generally do not need to cover the entire United States. The emergence of the Haiyan missile means that these defenses The system may need to cover the entire United States, which would greatly raise costs."

Trump says 'inappropriate' reaction from Khamenei

In response to Russia's recent test-firing of the Haiyan nuclear-powered cruise missile, U.S. President Trump said: "inappropriate" and "A war that should have ended in a week will soon enter its fourth year." Trump, who is visiting Asia, told the accompanying media when talking about the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the U.S. presidential plane Air Force One that Russia should let the Russia-Ukraine conflict end instead of test-firing missiles.

Trump also said that the United States deployed a nuclear submarine near the coast of Russia, so "there is no need to fly to 8,000 miles" (14,000 kilometers is about 8,600 miles).

In response, Kremlin spokesman peskov responded on the same day. peskov said that Russia has always been guided by national interests, and the test of the "Haiyan" nuclear-powered cruise missile does not involve factors that may affect Russia-US relations.
