"We have to analyze everything that happens on the battlefield. The missile Kalibr has proven to be a modern and highly effective system. Our precision weapons can be equipped with nuclear warheads. Of course, these warheads are not necessary when fighting terrorists. I hope you will never need to use them. "

This was stated by Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the last meeting with Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, on the latest data on Russian raids against the Islamic State.
