A significant advancement in Russian military technology has been confirmed with the successful test of the nuclear-powered ‘Burevestnik’ cruise missile. During recent comprehensive drills involving Russia’s nuclear forces, the missile reportedly achieved an extended flight duration of 15 hours, covering a distance of 14,000 kilometers. This trial represents a critical success for the program, which aims to develop weapons with unprecedented range. President Vladimir Putin revealed the details of the successful test during a televised meeting, also directing the armed forces to ready the infrastructure required for the Burevestnik’s operational deployment. The potential for unlimited range, powered by its nuclear engine, positions the Burevestnik as a highly strategic asset. The President’s announcement was made to key military leaders, underscoring the importance of this technological leap.
