Russia has achieved a significant milestone in its military advancements with the successful testing of its nuclear-powered ‘Burevestnik’ cruise missile. During recent extensive drills involving nuclear forces, the innovative missile demonstrated remarkable endurance, remaining airborne for an impressive 15 hours and covering a vast distance of 14,000 kilometers. This successful trial underscores Russia’s commitment to developing advanced strategic weapons. President Vladimir Putin, speaking during a televised meeting with top military officials, confirmed the successful test and issued directives for the armed forces to commence preparations for the missile’s eventual deployment, including the necessary infrastructure. The missile’s unique nuclear propulsion system promises virtually unlimited range, a capability that could significantly alter strategic calculations. The President’s announcement follows his visit to the joint staff overseeing military operations, where he received updates on ongoing activities.
