In response to the proposal from Vladimir Putin to help the Defense Ministry come up with a name for latest arms systems, which the Russian President presented during the announcement of his Address to the Federal Assembly, the Russians started to make their offers.
Two new types of Russian strategic weapons remain nameless for the time being: a global range cruise missile with a nuclear power plant and a nuclear-capable unmanned underwater vehicle. In addition, one needs to coin the name for he new laser weapons as well.
“For those who are interested in military equipment, I would like to propose, I would ask them to propose the names for this new hardware,” the Russian president said, introducing the new weapons of the Russian Federation, noting that one can submit their options on the websites of the Defense Ministry.
The majority of Russian bloggers started thinking of a name for the new nuclear cruise missile. The most popular version is “Pesets” which literally translates into English as “Arctic fox,” although the Russian word designating the polar animal alludes to a swear word of similar pronunciation, but of completely different meaning which one may interpret as “the end of it all” or “holy cow” exclamation.
Other popular variations for the new missile are as follows: “Surprise,” “Present,” “Gagarin,” “God’s hand,” and many others. Others simply offered to name the new missile “Putin” or “Vladimir.”
Some others, however, found the presentation of the new weapons during the annual Address to the Federal Assembly a very sad event of the day. Putin spoke a little about poverty in Russia and a lot about war. “It’s very sad, it tears me apart, there’s only war and nothing else in Putin’s lavish heart,” a blogger tweeted.
Putin’s major announcements have already started generating plenty of jokes. Here are a few of them:
“Monday. Argentina finds half a ton of cocaine, Wednesday. Lavrov says that the Yankees are working on a nuclear strike on Russia. Thursday. Putin invents a nuclear-powered missile. I wonder if we all live till the weekend.” @Michael65491159

“We aim to please” is my suggestion. Do I win anything?
Fancy missiles? Sure. But nobody can make $800 toilet seats like the Pentagon.

“From Moscow with Love ” still remains a good name !
I have my own suggestion, following the Q Anon scheme. It goes like this:
Boom, Boooom, BOOOOOOM!
