NATO intelligence believes that Russia has modernized its nuclear arsenal and the Burevestnik is ready for use.
The modernization of the Russian arsenal of nuclear weapons has been completed and Vladimir Putin has received several new submarines, medium-range missiles and the Burevestnik nuclear missile system, the German Welt reports, citing a secret NATO intelligence report.
"Burevestnik", according to NATO, can become a serious threat to Europe.
According to NATO, the missile can fly at a speed of more than 900 km per hour with a range of 14 thousand km.
Experts also confirmed in the report the statements of the Russian president that the missile is capable of maneuvering for a long time before hitting the target. During one test, she was in the air for 15 hours.
"American experts proceed from the fact that the rocket can fly even for days — all thanks to the nuclear engine," writes Welt.
As reported by EADaily, in October, the Russian authorities reported testing the Burevestnik missiles and the Poseidon underwater vehicle with nuclear power plants. They were conducted in accordance with all international obligations, Moscow emphasized.
