(WesternJournalism) Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russian cruise missiles recently used to strike targets in Syria could be fitted with nuclear warheads, but he does "hope" it will not come to that.
"On Tuesday, a Russian Kilo-class submarine, the Rostov-on-Don, fired Kalibr-PL cruise missiles against an IS installation near the terrorists' stronghold in Raqqa. Water-to-surface cruise missiles were launched from a submerged sub in the Mediterranean Sea," RT reported, citing Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
