Russia has test-fired a new interceptor missile designed to protect Moscow from air and space attacks as it beefs up its military might.
The Kremlin claims the test was a success and the air defence system is unprecedented, setting new records for accuracy, range and speed.
But it remains shrouded in secrecy, with Moscow refusing to show what it looks like up close or reveal how far it can travel.
The latest weapon in Vladimir Putin's arsenal - amid rising tensions with the West - can destroy a ballistic target hurtling at seven kilometres (4.3 miles) per second, Russia claims.
