Russia’s long-troubled 9M730 Burevestnik missile has once again made headlines after President Vladimir Putin confirmed a 14,000-kilometer Arctic test flight on October 26, 2023. Marketed as having “unlimited range” and nuclear propulsion, the Burevestnik has been linked to multiple fatal incidents, including the deadly 2019 Nyonoksa explosion that killed at least seven technicians and triggered radiation spikes across the White Sea region.Originally conceived during the Soviet era and revived in 2001, the nuclear-powered missile—also known as Skyfall—has suffered repeated failures, crashes, and contamination events. Experts warn that its unshielded reactor design poses grave environmental risks, calling it a “flying Chernobyl.” Despite mounting evidence of danger and dysfunction, Putin continues to push the project forward as a symbol of power amid Russia’s faltering war effort.Support us directly as we bring you independent, up-to-date reporting on military news and global conflicts by clicking here: / @themilitaryshow #militarystrategy #militarydevelopments #militaryanalysis#themilitaryshow
