Russia Plans New Generation of Weapons
Russian President Promises New Generation of Weapons; Analysts Say They Could Be Zigzagging Missiles

After two failed missiles launches during highly publicized military maneuvers, President Vladimir Putin announced plans Wednesday to deploy a new generation of strategic weapons and said Moscow may build new missile defenses.

Some analysts said the new weapons may be warheads tha zigzag on their way to a target, an idea that dates to the Soviet era. Putin did not say exactly what they were.

7. Zig-zagging missiles
Wonder what brought back that idea from the past? Gee, could it have been Bush's plan to develop a missile defense system? We'll spend hundreds of billions to build one, only to see it outdated by new technology a year after it becomes operational. Wonderful.
