Russia Unleashes ‘Invincible’ Nuclear-Powered Burevestnik Cruise Missile: Putin’s Chilling Warning to the West
- Russia successfully tests nuclear-capable Burevestnik cruise missile, boasting ‘unlimited range’ and ‘unpredictable flight path’
- Putin orders generals to prepare for deployment, sending shivers down the spines of Western leaders
- White House remains tight-lipped on the test, but experts warn of escalating tensions between Russia and the US
Russia has pulled the trigger on a game-changing nuclear-powered cruise missile, leaving the West reeling. The Burevestnik missile, dubbed ‘invincible’ by Russian generals, has been hailed as a major breakthrough in Moscow’s military arsenal. And in a chilling warning to the West, President Vladimir Putin has ordered his generals to prepare for deployment.
“We need to determine the possible uses and begin preparing the infrastructure for deploying these weapons to our armed forces,” Putin said, his words dripping with menace. The Russian leader, dressed in camouflage fatigues, made the remarks during a meeting with generals overseeing the war in Ukraine.
The Burevestnik missile, also known as the SSC-X-9 Skyfall by NATO, has been touted as a response to the US’s decision to build a missile defence shield. Putin has long argued that the move undermines global security, and the latest test is seen as a bold statement of intent.
According to Russia’s chief of the General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, the missile travelled an astonishing 14,000 kilometres and remained airborne for 15 hours during the test on October 21. The successful test has sent shockwaves around the world, with experts warning of a new era of nuclear tension.
“The so-called modernity of our nuclear deterrent forces is at the highest level … higher than any other nuclear power,” Putin boasted, his confidence unwavering. The test has sparked fears of a renewed arms race, with the US and its allies scrambling to respond to the latest development.
As tensions between Russia and the US continue to simmer, Putin’s warning to the West has been met with silence from the White House. But experts warn that the stakes are higher than ever, with the fate of global security hanging in the balance.
In a world where nuclear war is no longer unthinkable, the Burevestnik missile test has sent a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of conflict. As the world teeters on the brink of chaos, one thing is clear: the rules of the game have changed, and the West must adapt to survive.
