Putin unveils ‘unmatched’ nuclear-powered Burevestnik missile as NATO monitors test
Russian President Vladimir Putin has boasted about the capabilities of the nuclear-powered cruise missile Burevestnik. He claimed it surpasses all other missile systems globally and has a range unmatched by any known system. Putin also revealed that a NATO ship, the Norwegian vessel Marjata IV, was present during a test of the Burevestnik on October 21.
Putin's assertions come after the Burevestnik's test on October 21, which was closely monitored by the NATO ship Marjata IV. The Russian leader stated that the Burevestnik has high precision in striking targets and has surpassed the world’s leading missile systems in capability. He also revealed that the missile's range exceeds that of any known system worldwide, indicating its potential to reach distant targets with ease.
The Burevestnik, also known as the 'Skyfall' missile, is a highly secretive project that has been under development for several years. Its nuclear propulsion system allows it to fly indefinitely, making it a significant threat to global security. Putin's claims about the missile's capabilities are a cause for concern among NATO allies, who view the Burevestnik as a destabilizing factor in international relations.
Putin's revelations about the Burevestnik's capabilities and the presence of a NATO ship during its test highlight the escalating tensions between Russia and the West. The missile's potential range and precision pose a significant threat to global security, and its development is being closely watched by international bodies. Further tests and deployments of the Burevestnik could have serious implications for international relations and could potentially trigger a new arms race.
