Source: the main tests of the Burevestnik missile completed

The Berevestnik rocket successfully completed the main test.

Tests of nuclear power for rockets of unlimited range of flight “Petrel” (9М730, SSC-X-9 "Skyfall") successfully completed. This information was confirmed by the TASS source in the Russian rocket-building industry.

"In January, at one of the landfills, the most important stage of testing the cruise subsonic Burevestnik missile was successfully completed - testing of a nuclear power plant", - he said.

According to reports, the tests were conducted at the site "Kapustin Yar."

Previously, such information was already provided by the American television channel CNBC, but American journalists stated that the missile was fully tested, which the TASS source did not comment on.

Considering the successful completion of the tests, in the near future we should expect the first full-fledged tests of the Russian Burevestnik cruise missile with a nuclear engine (9М730, SSC-X-9 "Skyfall"), which the Russian president may well announce Federal Assembly.

A key feature of the Russian “Petrel” cruise missile is the ability to strike at any point on the planet, while the rocket can maneuver around the enemy’s missile defense lines.
