Putin announced the testing of the nuclear missile Burevestnik: what is known

The Russian leader Vladimir Putin announced the successful test of the nuclear missile 'Burevestnik'. This information was disseminated by Russian media.

During a meeting, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia, Valery Gerasimov, presented the results of testing modern weapon samples. One of the tests concerned the cruise missile with a nuclear power plant 'Burevestnik', which, according to representatives of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, flew almost 14 thousand kilometers.

Noting that 'Burevestnik' is a unique sample, Putin emphasized that this missile can bypass missile defense systems.

In September 2023, Putin announced the successful completion of tests of the missile 'Burevestnik'. Previously, the testing of this missile led to a tragedy at a military site, where five people died.

Putin first mentioned 'Burevestnik' in 2018, emphasizing its long range and maneuverability, which makes it vulnerable to air defense and missile defense systems.

Putin announced the successful testing of the nuclear missile 'Burevestnik', which is part of ongoing efforts to develop Russian armed forces. The testing of this missile confirms his intentions to continue modernizing military equipment and weapons in the future.
