Moscow Announces Accomplished Trial of Reactor-Driven Storm Petrel Cruise Missile
Russia has tested the nuclear-powered Burevestnik strategic weapon, as reported by the country's leading commander.
"We have launched a multi-hour flight of a nuclear-powered missile and it traveled a vast distance, which is not the maximum," Senior Military Leader the commander informed the Russian leader in a broadcast conference.
The low-altitude experimental weapon, initially revealed in the past decade, has been described as having a possible global reach and the ability to avoid anti-missile technology.
Western experts have previously cast doubt over the missile's strategic value and the nation's statements of having accomplished its evaluation.
The president declared that a "last accomplished trial" of the missile had been conducted in 2023, but the statement could not be independently verified. Of over a dozen recorded evaluations, merely a pair had moderate achievement since the mid-2010s, according to an disarmament advocacy body.
The general stated the projectile was in the atmosphere for fifteen hours during the test on October 21.
He explained the weapon's altitude and course adjustments were tested and were found to be complying with standards, based on a domestic media outlet.
"As a result, it displayed superior performance to evade anti-missile and aerial protection," the news agency reported the commander as saying.
The missile's utility has been the subject of intense debate in defence and strategic sectors since it was first announced in 2018.
A previous study by a US Air Force intelligence center concluded: "A reactor-driven long-range projectile would offer Moscow a distinctive armament with worldwide reach potential."
Nonetheless, as a foreign policy research organization noted the same year, the nation encounters major obstacles in making the weapon viable.
"Its entry into the state's inventory arguably hinges not only on surmounting the substantial engineering obstacle of securing the reliable performance of the atomic power system," analysts stated.
"There were multiple unsuccessful trials, and an accident resulting in several deaths."
A defence publication cited in the analysis asserts the weapon has a range of between 6,200 and 12,400 miles, enabling "the missile to be deployed throughout the nation and still be equipped to strike goals in the continental US."
The corresponding source also explains the weapon can travel as close to the ground as 164 to 328 feet above ground, causing complexity for aerial protection systems to engage.
The missile, designated a specific moniker by a Western alliance, is believed to be powered by a atomic power source, which is supposed to activate after solid fuel rocket boosters have propelled it into the air.
An examination by a reporting service last year pinpointed a location a considerable distance from the city as the likely launch site of the missile.
Employing orbital photographs from August 2024, an specialist reported to the service he had detected several deployment sites under construction at the location.
