CNBC: absolutely all tests of the Russian 9M730 Burevestnik missile ended in failure

The Russian Burevestnik rocket was a failed project without a hint of success.

The Russian Borevestnik hypersonic 9M730 cruise missile, which President Vladimir Putin spoke about relatively recently, turned out to be an absolutely disastrous project - out of five tests carried out, not one was successful.

According to the American publication CNBC, the maximum flight duration of a Russian cruise missile with a nuclear power plant, which, according to previously announced information, can be in flight for an unlimited time, was only 2 minutes, and the maximum flight range did not exceed 36 kilometers.

“The US determined that the longest test flight lasted just over two minutes, and the rocket flew 22 miles before it lost control and crashed. The shortest test lasted four seconds - the rocket flew five miles. The tests appear to have shown that the nuclear-powered cruise missile reactor failed to start and, therefore, the weapon was unable to complete the extended flight that Putin boasted. ", - the message says "CNBC».

It is noteworthy that US intelligence claims that as a result of a mysterious explosion in Nyonoks it was the Petrel missile that was tested.
