New Russian weapon makes the world tremble

The Boerevestnik or “storm bird” can be sent anywhere in the world. Back in 2018, Russian President, Vladimir Putin, announced his design. Today, it seems that this new nuclear missile has become a reality.

Around the world, there was great hope that the Boerevestnik would not see the light of day. However… Satellite photos taken around 9 horizontal launch platforms prove the opposite. These platforms, located in Vologda, are indeed intended to receive the new Russian weapon of war, reports Reuters.

The Boerevestnik is a cruise missile equipped with a mini-nuclear reactor making defense impossible for the enemy. The “storm bird” is nuclear-powered, which makes it unique; no country in the world has this technology. Its great advantage? A much greater range than so-called “classic” cruise missiles. It can therefore be launched anywhere in the world and, thanks to this specificity, remain in hovering flight.
