In a speech, Putin warned the US that it risked triggering a Cold War-style missile crisis.
Russia may deploy new strike weapons in response to the US' planned stationing of longer-range and hypersonic missiles in Germany, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday.
"The flight time to targets on our territory of such missiles, which in the future may be equipped with nuclear warheads, will be about 10 minutes," he said.
Putin accused the US of stoking tensions and transferring Typhon missile systems to Denmark and the Philippines, and compared the US plans to NATO's 1979 decision to deploy Pershing II launchers in Western Europe.
"This situation is reminiscent of the events of the Cold War related to the deployment of US medium-range Pershing missiles in Europe," Putin said.
