Good ol' days are here again!

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia is working on new nuclear missile systems that other powers do not have in order to protect itself against future security threats, President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday.

Russia's latest nuclear innovation was a test launch in February of a missile designed to outwit Washington's planned $50 billion missile shield.
"It flies as a ballistic missile warhead in space, but when it penetrates the atmosphere it begins flying like a cruise missile," Golts said.
He said it made the American anti-missile plans more or less useless. "And it means that we still think about the United States as a potential adversary," Golts added. (Additional reporting by Tom Miles)
Emphasis mine.
I doubt bushit's shield would stop many of the old Russian missiles. Putin's system doesn't have to work particularly well in order to make mockery of Raygun's Star Wars project, but the fact that it even exists is a nasty reminder of the Cold War.
I miss Gorby :(
