US PRESIDENT Donald Trump may add a “devastating” new warhead that can obliterate Russian nukes to his arsenal of deadly war weapons.

The powerful tungsten-based missile – dubbed the Kinetic Energy Projectile (KEP) – can be fired at three times the speed of sound and destroys everything in its path.

When launched, the kinetic energy weapon bursts into flaming metal fragments capable of penetrating most conventional types of armour.

The high precision warhead was first tested by the US Air Force in 2013.

But now US war chiefs are said to be considering developing the super weapon to boost defence in the face of Russian threats.

Trump appears to be ramping up his military capabilities after testing a nuclear gravity bomb and dropping a MOAB on ISIS tunnels in Afghanistan.

Major general William Hix, director of strategy for the US army, compared the colossal warhead to a “big shotgun shell” that “not much can survive”.

It is thought the weapon would be used to shoot down nuclear warheads fired from Russian tanks.

Mt Hix explained its terrifying capabilities at an arms summit in the US last month.

He said: “The way that they have designed it, is quite devastating.

“I would not want to be around it. Not much can survive it.

“If you are in a main battle tank, if you’re a crew member, you might survive but the vehicle will be non-mission capable, and everything below that level of protection will be dead.

“That’s what I am talking about.”
