Russia will test the longest-range cruise missile in history.

This week, a unique Russian cruise missile is expected to be launched from the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, which claims to be the longest-range cruise missile in the world. The missile is so unique that the United States fears it even more than the Russian Zircon hypersonic missile and the Avangard and Sarmat complexes, the Burevestnik nuclear powered cruise missile.

According to the "Operative Line" Telegram-community, it is planned to launch this missile next week. Judging by the closed areas of the airspace, we are really talking about the "Petrel".

“From 14 to 25 August, at the military ranges of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, it is planned to conduct some missile tests of one of the promising missile products. Taking into account the plans of the Ministry of Defense previously announced in the media - to carry out the next launches of the Burevestnik product, as well as the guesses of Western intelligence services that on the Pankova Peninsula Zemlya, about. Yuzhny, architect. Novaya Zemlya, something is being built and bad things are being started, then it would be quite logical to assume that the prototype of that very "Petrel" can fly. During this period, an increased activity of NATO air spies should be expected in the Barents Sea ", - said in the published material.

Earlier, Avia.pro experts have already reported on the probable tests of the Burevestnik missile, which, quite possibly, could be ground-based in order to check the readiness of the missile and the launch complex for testing.

A key feature of the Russian Burevestnik cruise missile is that, thanks to a nuclear power plant, it can be in flight indefinitely.
