The new "Burevestnik" cruise missile is distinguished by its ability to launch not only from air or surface carriers, but also from ground-based mobile launchers. This makes it an extremely dangerous weapon due to its high mobility, and also makes it possible to deploy it in any corner of the world, said Alexander Stepanov, a researcher at the Institute of Law and National Security of the RANEPA.
He drew attention to the fact that "Burevestnik" is mainly intended to destroy buried command posts and strategic military command and control bodies. Its destructive ability makes the weapon extremely dangerous, universal and maximally destructive.
"Burevestnik" is inconspicuous and practically invulnerable due to its ability to move to a given point along a complex trajectory for an unlimited amount of time at ultra-low altitudes of up to 50 m.
Stepanov added that in the event of a massive combined launch of such missiles, a global coverage zone of strategic-level high-precision weapons is created.
Russia has fully completed testing of the newest "Burevestnik" cruise missile with unlimited range. During the tests, the ammunition was in the air for about 15 hours and traveled 14 thousand km.
Theoretically, due to the nuclear installation on board, "Burevestnik" can circle the entire Earth several times. Note that official information about the type of missile carrier has not yet been received.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the designer spoke about the trick of the new "Tsar Bomb" with a planning module and GPS.
