From hypersonic nuclear powered scramjet cruise missiles with unlimited range, a underwater submarine drone, underwater ICBM, and even truck-mounted mobile laser missile defense systems, Putin put on the show yesterday in a speech to the Russian parliament.
Among the new weapons systems:
This is a propaganda-themed video, but it was the best one that I could find that had videos everything in his speech (except maybe the mobile truck-mounted laser missile defense systems):

The part of his speech concerning these new weapons systems:
Among the new weapons systems:
- RS-28 Sarmat ICBM NATO designation Satan 2 - claimed to be able to evade US missile defenses by going over the South Pole - was in development from 2009 and is claimed to be operational.
- Avangard (Vanguard) hypersonic vehicle. Nuclear powered scramjet cruise missile with "unlimited range", similar concept to the US Project Pluto , which presumably can be carried on the Sarmat in addition to conventional MIRVs. Described by Putin as "a low-flying, low-visibility cruise missile armed with a nuclear warhead and possessing a practically unlimited range, unpredictable flight path and the capability to impregnate practically all interception lines is invulnerable to all existing and future anti-missile and air defense weapons."
- "an underwater drone is capable of operating at "very extreme depths covering intercontinental distances"
