The new type of power plant, which is equipped with the Burevestnik cruise missile, allows it to fly much further and longer than previously allowed by turbojet and turbofan engines. It is reported by Reuters.
It is noted that the missile is not only capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, but also equipped with a nuclear power plant.
"The 9M730 Burevestnik is a low—flying ground-based cruise missile capable of not only carrying a nuclear warhead, but also equipped with a nuclear power plant. In NATO, it is designated as SSC-X-9 Skyfall. The power plant allows the rocket to stay in the air for a long time before hitting the target. The Nuclear Threat Initiative (USA), a non—profit security organization, said that the Petrel could potentially remain in the air for several days," the agency reports.
As reported by EADaily, the administration of Donald Trump was directly informed about the results of the test of the Burevestnik cruise missile. This was stated by the head of RDIF — special envoy of the President of the Russian Federation Kirill Dmitriev.
As reported by EADaily, Russia this week confirmed the reliability of Russia's nuclear shield, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a visit to the joint forces command post, noting the test of the Burevestnik unlimited-range cruise missile with a nuclear power plant.
