Russia Announces Accomplished Evaluation of Reactor-Driven Storm Petrel Missile
Moscow has trialed the atomic-propelled Burevestnik long-range missile, according to the state's leading commander.
"We have launched a extended flight of a nuclear-powered missile and it traversed a 14,000km distance, which is not the maximum," Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov reported to the Russian leader in a broadcast conference.
The terrain-hugging advanced armament, initially revealed in recent years, has been portrayed as having a possible global reach and the capacity to bypass defensive systems.
Western experts have in the past questioned over the weapon's military utility and Moscow's assertions of having accomplished its evaluation.
The president said that a "concluding effective evaluation" of the armament had been held in last year, but the assertion was not externally confirmed. Of at least 13 known tests, only two had moderate achievement since the mid-2010s, as per an arms control campaign group.
The general stated the missile was in the sky for fifteen hours during the trial on the specified date.
He explained the missile's vertical and horizontal manoeuvring were tested and were found to be complying with standards, based on a local reporting service.
"Consequently, it displayed superior performance to evade defensive networks," the outlet quoted the official as saying.
The projectile's application has been the topic of heated controversy in military and defence circles since it was first announced in 2018.
A 2021 report by a foreign defence research body concluded: "A reactor-driven long-range projectile would provide the nation a unique weapon with global strike capacity."
Nonetheless, as a global defence think tank observed the same year, the nation faces major obstacles in making the weapon viable.
"Its integration into the nation's stockpile likely depends not only on resolving the considerable technical challenge of guaranteeing the dependable functioning of the atomic power system," specialists wrote.
"There have been multiple unsuccessful trials, and an incident resulting in multiple fatalities."
A military journal cited in the study claims the projectile has a flight distance of between 10,000 and 20,000km, permitting "the weapon to be deployed across the country and still be equipped to reach goals in the United States mainland."
The corresponding source also notes the missile can travel as low as 164 to 328 feet above the surface, causing complexity for air defences to stop.
The missile, designated Skyfall by a foreign security organization, is believed to be propelled by a atomic power source, which is supposed to engage after primary launch mechanisms have launched it into the atmosphere.
An inquiry by a media outlet the previous year pinpointed a facility 475km north of Moscow as the probable deployment area of the weapon.
Utilizing orbital photographs from the recent past, an analyst informed the outlet he had observed several deployment sites being built at the location.
