Russia is building up it's military, but I'm more worried that they would hand off suitcase bombs to terrorists for surreptitious transport. Western European and North American paranoia aside, Putin is probably more interested in the activities of China, Iran, and the rest of the local neighborhood.

T-60s is no bomber. The T-60 was a scout tank, from WW2, which was tested for deployment as a glider by putting some wings on it. This project was called Antonov A-40. Tu-60S would be a possible bomber made by Tupolev. But that designation is not used. The next possible is the rather classic Tu-160 bomber, which is what the B-1A should have been before they cut it to the B-1B. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-160 Also, Russia does not work on space weapons, as far as they are meant to be stationed in space. They refine their existing anti-ballistic missile designs and ASAT systems. Also possible is an revival of their nuclear powered ocean surveillance satellites, which are also military in nature. Finally: That the US are meant to work on such things is not a sign that they actually have a need for them, but just that the government thinks, it is cool. It is just a new way to throw tax payers money to the US industry. PS: Russia does not have suitcase bombs. Just like the US too, it was very hard making so small bombs and Russia has still no knowledge about how to make small nuclear warheads at all - that's why they have very large ICBMs, which are also great for launching satellites. The US suit case bomb has the size of a typical beer tub and the same weight. it is just possible to carry it by a strong human.

What you mean is the Russian particle weapon built into a nuclear submarine.They just surface,shoot down a us satellite or missile and dives under water again.
