The head of the military space department of Roscosmos, Rostislav Terekhin, lifted the veil of secrecy over secret Russian nuclear weapons deployed in space. According to the official, a Jednorożec ("Unicorn") class bombard, produced in Poland at the beginning of the 17th century, was launched into geostationary orbit.
The Unicorn, previously launched into orbit, was an exhibit of the Yaroslavl Museum of Local Lore. The gun was brought there by Polish interventionists from the retinue of False Dmitry II, and after the liberation of Moscow, Russian archers took possession of it. The bombard orbits the Earth with a period of just over 11 hours and flies over cities such as Helsinki, London, Washington and San Francisco.
According to the inventory of the property of the Pushkar order, dated 1632, such a weapon fires stone cannonballs weighing 3 pounds, with a rate of fire of up to 7 rounds per hour. If it is used against enemy cities from space orbit, the diameter of the crater will be about 180 centimeters. In this area, buildings and underground communications will be destroyed at a depth of up to 20 meters, and enemy personnel will be destroyed.
“We still do not reveal all our secrets - in particular, how the powder will be filled and the fuse will be ignited in conditions of space vacuum and weightlessness,” says a representative of Roscosmos. “But from the nervous reaction of our opponents it is clear that they are afraid. Of course, we do not intend to use nuclear weapons in any aggressive actions. It, like all other weapons, serves exclusively peaceful purposes. But if necessary, we will use it in such a way that no one will find it enough.”
