As a country, russia has been relatively inactive in previous years, and their involvement is extremely minimal on an international scale. This new advancement will not only earn them respect on the global perspective, it will also evoke advancment in the defense, and attack system of the world's other reigning superpowers. To have the ability of destruction to any place in the earth is a power of such proportion that concern will undoubtedly run throught varios governments across the earth. Out of all the ways to combat this seemingly indestructible weapon, there is without question a method to minimize destruction, and in the coming years, military advancements may help to better the economy, as well as our feelings of security.
