Russia has successfully tested its Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile, a weapon that Moscow claims is capable of overcoming any missile defence system. The test, which took place on October 21, is part of a broader strategic message from Russian President Vladimir Putin, signalling to the West and also to the domestic audiences that Russia is determined to maintain its military capabilities amid escalating geopolitical tensions.
The Burevestnik, dubbed “Storm Petrel” by NATO, is a nuclear-capable missile that, according to Russian officials, possesses an almost unlimited range and an unpredictable flight path, making it virtually “invincible” against existing and future defence systems. The missile’s successful 14,000-kilometre flight, lasting approximately 15 hours, underscores the advanced nature of this weapon and Russia’s growing confidence in its military technological superiority.
