"They know that we have a nuclear submarine, the largest in the world, right off their shores," the head of the White House replied. According to him, the States also regularly conduct missile tests, and are not going to "play games" with the Russian Federation. "I mean, it doesn't have to fly 8,000 miles, and they don't play games with us, we don't play games with them either. We test missiles all the time," he added.
The American leader noted that the Kremlin should now not publicly talk about testing a new missile, but focus on ending the war in Ukraine. "And I don't think it's appropriate for Putin to say that either, by the way. He should end the war, the war that was supposed to last one week, and now it's going on for the fourth year, that's what he should do instead of missile tests," Trump emphasized.
The press service of the Kremlin reported on October 26 that Russia had tested the Burevisnyk unlimited-range cruise missile with a nuclear power plant. Putin stated this at a meeting with the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov.
According to Putin, this week the Russian armed forces conducted training of strategic offensive forces, during which training and combat launches of all three components of the nuclear triad were carried out and new types of weapons were tested. The test of the Burevisnyk missile allegedly took place on October 21. According to him, the rocket traveled about 14,000 kilometers and was in the air for about 15 hours.
At the same time, he added that thanks to its technical characteristics, it is possible to strike "highly protected targets at any distance with guaranteed accuracy. " Earlier, we wrote in detail about what the Russian Petrel missile is, and what is known about the capabilities and characteristics of this newest weapon of the Russian Federation. Focus also translated an article by military analyst Brandon Weichert for the National Interest.
