Vladimir Putin has issued stern warnings to Western nations while unveiling his new “unstoppable” nuclear missile, dubbed “Flying Chernobyl,” following successful tests. The Russian leader proudly declared that Russia now possesses the most advanced nuclear capabilities globally. In a chilling revelation, Putin disclosed the recent secret flight test of the Burevestnik doomsday missile on October 21, touting its “unlimited range.”
During a visit to a military command post, Putin discussed the nuclear-powered missile alongside Russia’s top general, Valery Gerasimov, emphasizing its potential. Simultaneously, Russian forces conducted a brutal overnight assault on Kyiv, targeting residential buildings and resulting in casualties, including seven children.
Putin boasted about recent nuclear war drills and emphasized the superior status of Russia’s nuclear deterrent forces compared to other nuclear states. He highlighted the capabilities of the Burevestnik missile, designed for extended flights and capable of evading Western defense systems.
Gerasimov disclosed that the Burevestnik, also known as Flying Chernobyl, completed a successful 14,000-kilometer test flight lasting 15 hours. Despite the missile emitting radioactive exhaust, he commended Russian scientists for their accomplishments in developing the advanced weapon system.
While acknowledging that the Burevestnik is not yet operational, Putin aimed to instill fear in Western nations, affirming Russia’s ongoing involvement in the conflict in Ukraine without specifying an end date. In Kyiv, fires engulfed high-rise buildings as rescue efforts were underway amidst the devastating strikes. Meanwhile, Putin’s envoy in the US attempted to shift blame onto Ukrainian air defenses for civilian casualties caused by Russian attacks.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the relentless Russian assaults on civilians, emphasizing the destructive impact on ordinary life. He denounced the numerous strikes on residential areas and critical infrastructure, detailing the extensive use of drones, bombs, and missiles by Russia in its aggressive campaign against Ukraine.
