The Russian military claims it’s making progress on a space plane similar to the U.S. Air Force’s secretive X-37B robotic mini-shuttle. That in itself isn’t terribly surprising or even, for the United States, particularly worrisome.

But alone among space-plane developers, the Kremlin is proposing to arm its space plane. With nukes.
