Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed the country has developed new “invincible” nuclear weapons that could avoid US defenses, saying on March 1 during his annual speech to the nation that the world would now have to “listen to us.”

The speech represented an escalated level of martial rhetoric even by his pugnacious standards, according to the Washington Post.

Among the weapons Putin talked about are nuclear-powered cruise missiles that could fly around the south pole to avoid US missile defenses that all point north or west. Another video showed the deployment of a combat laser system, and another showed a new type of super-silent submarine that could carry nuclear missiles close to a target without detection.
