Impressive.

Spectacular footage shows a Russian air force Tupolev Tu-160 loading up a KH-555 cruise missile and then launching the missile from a high altitude.

The cruise missile KH-555 has a 2175- mile range, and it is capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

In this video, Russia is showing off its military strength in launching the cruise missile as part of a military exercise. No one was harmed in the incident.
