The newest Russian missiles "Burevestnik" and "Oreshnik" perform different combat missions, which is a significant difference between them. This was stated by military expert, Captain First Rank (Retired) Vasily Dandykin.
He reminded that "Oreshnik" is a hypersonic operational-tactical missile, while "Burevestnik" is a strategic cruise missile with a nuclear engine.
"Oreshnik" and "Burevestnik" simply have different tasks. "Oreshnik" is operational-tactical with the maximum possible range, and "Burevestnik" is strategic, with unlimited time in the air.
Dandykin added that the "Burevestnik" is capable of staying in the air for a long time, maneuvering at low altitudes, and remaining practically invulnerable to any air defense systems.
The Captain First Rank draws an analogy to a nuclear icebreaker with a power plant when talking about "Burevestnik".
It's like a nuclear icebreaker that can sail the sea for years without refueling. The principle is the same here - fuel consumption is minimal, and the range is unlimited. This is the uniqueness of the new Russian missile.
As a reminder, "Pervyi Tekhnicheskiy" compared the "Burevestnik" and "Oreshnik" missiles. In relation to them, one can apply the expression "has no analogues". It also became known that in the case of "Oreshnik", the launchers are even deployed outside of Russia.
