Russian nuclear missile "Burevestnik" was unable to fly - lacked engine power

It became known about probable problems with the Russian nuclear cruise missile "Burevestnik".

The Russian news outlet Vzglyad reported on probable problems that arose in the process of creating and testing the newest Russian nuclear-powered cruise missile with an unlimited flight range. As it turned out, the engine used by the rocket simply does not have enough efficiency in order to effectively perform its tasks, and therefore, a by-pass engine of this type is currently being developed.

“It is not known exactly what type of engine was used on the Burevestnik cruise missile. It can be a ramjet engine or a turbojet. The only thing that is known about the "Petrel" is absolutely certain (according to the video of the bow, which was published by the Ministry of Defense), is that it is not hypersonic. Most likely it is a subsonic missile. However, it can also be safely asserted that the Petrel's engine is single-circuit - the air, the heating of which is used to create jet thrust, in this rocket contacts the reactor itself, and not with some kind of intermediate heat exchanger. The release of radioactive isotopes, which are now regularly detected in Europe, testifies to this. Such an engine is quite suitable for weapons used in a nuclear war - nature will not be much worse from it. But apart from this, he is not suitable for anything "- сообщает edition "Vzglyad", drawing attention to the fact that in the future there will be a bypass engine, which will significantly increase the capabilities of such weapons.

As follows from the data of Western news agencies, today the Russian cruise missile "Burevestnik" carries out flights only for tens of kilometers, which, obviously, may be due to insufficient thrust with the used power plant, however, there is no official confirmation of this yet.

The Russians themselves are turning Russia into a radioactive forest-steppe.

Type tests are carried out on serial products.

"As follows from the data of Western news agencies," - after that, you can no longer read further.

So it turns out - there is a rocket ...

1st circuit nuclear reactor, 2nd superheated air ... I also thought that, by analogy with a conventional turbojet engine, double-circuit ... In principle, nothing unusual - a standard NPP scheme. And the article - pulling an owl on a globe, with a lack of information

The author, before building a rocket, first builds an engine, tests it, and adjusts it. And only then a rocket is built for it. If the rocket is made, then the engine has already been worked out, it is being fine-tuned for a specific "product".

Read the ND to understand what type tests are. To start.

"there was not enough engine power ..." And the author is definitely an expert in rocketry?

As far as I understand, the double-circuit will allow to exclude direct contact of the air escaping into the atmosphere, environmental pollution and, accordingly, to use a more powerful YAU .. However, it seems that all these articles are like provocations to an official response)) If they finish it, they will show it!

But on the merits of the question - is there a rocket or not? What do you think? And then, to be smart all the masters ...

So it turns out - there is no rocket?

Well, how I like the "conclusions" of these "Xspurds", based on the nose of some object, which is supposedly "Petrel"

This note (especially the title) has nothing to do with the article in Look. Twitching no more. The bypass engine is the future, the Petrel with the current engine is a test of the pen so to speak. A bypass engine will be a very necessary thing in the future, and not for a storm-rocket ... but for many other areas plus space

Is a 2-circuit NPP more powerful than a single-circuit one? How ? Maybe the Author has confused "a fork with a bottle", and a 2-circuit diagram with a 2-stage one?

With a lack of thrust cr. the rocket cannot fly tens of kilometers ...: - ((

No big deal - that's what type tests are for. Perhaps hypersonic, rather than dual-circuit, engine performance will be more productive
