00:00Russia has taken its military arsenal to a new level with the Burevestnik missile,
00:10a weapon that experts say could redefine modern warfare.
00:14Designed to operate at both high and low altitudes,
00:18the missile can evade detection, according to Valery Polovinkin,
00:22scientific director of Russia's Krylov Research Center,
00:26which develops advanced naval and maritime systems.
00:32The decision to begin work on the Burevestnik missile dates back to December 2001,
00:38following the United States withdrawal from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
00:44President Vladimir Putin publicly announced the Burevestnik program
00:48in his 2018 address to the Federal Assembly,
00:52describing it as invulnerable to both existing and prospective missile defense and air defense systems.
00:59The prospective nuclear weapons system is based on the latest,
01:03unique achievements of our scientists, engineers, and engineers.
01:08One of them is the creation of a small-scale,
01:12the US military unit,
01:14which includes the aircraft that had come in andwoman,
01:15which is located in the body of the rocket, like our new rocket H-101, or the American Tomahawk,
01:24which is provided in dozens of times, dozens of times,
01:28the length of the rocket, which is practically not limited.
01:33This is a small amount of rocket rocket,
01:36which is carried out by the rocket,
01:38with almost limited length of the rocket,
01:41which is created by the rocket, and the possibility of crossing the border,
01:45is unimaginable for all existing and prospective systems,
01:50both PRO and PVO.
01:52Known by its provisional designation 9M730,
01:55and as SSC X-9 Skyfall to NATO,
01:58the Burevestnik is a nuclear-powered intercontinental range cruise missile.
02:03It is built to penetrate the most advanced air and missile defense systems
02:07and deliver a nuclear warhead across vast distances.
02:12On October 26th, 2025,
02:15Chief of the Russian General Staff, Valery Gerasimov,
02:19reported to President Vladimir Putin on the successful test
02:22of the so-called unlimited-range missile.
02:25The test, conducted on October 21st,
02:28covered 14,000 kilometers in 15 hours.
02:32Following the test, President Putin ordered the groundwork
02:37for deploying the missile within the Russian armed forces
02:40and called for studies on its potential applications.
02:43He stressed that significant work remains
02:46before the missile can enter combat service.
02:49The Burevestnik's most distinctive feature
02:52is its nuclear-powered engine.
02:55Unlike conventional cruise missiles
02:57that rely on aviation kerosene or synthetic fuel,
03:01the missile's nuclear propulsion gives it effectively unlimited range,
03:05extended flight endurance,
03:07and the ability to alter its course
03:09to strike from unexpected directions.
03:12This capability allows it to bypass air defense
03:16and missile defense systems,
03:18even via polar routes where surveillance is minimal.
03:21Its combination of low-altitude flight,
03:24variable trajectory, and long endurance
03:27creates a fuzzy contact for detection systems,
03:30making it extraordinarily difficult to track.
03:34Although much about the missile remains classified,
03:36some specifications are known.
03:38The Burevestnik carries a nuclear warhead
03:41and can travel at subsonic or supersonic speeds,
03:44approximately 8 and 50 to 1,300 kilometers per hour.
03:49It flies at low altitudes,
03:51reportedly between 25 and 100 meters,
03:53and is capable of avoiding detection zones.
03:57According to Gerasimov,
03:59these capabilities allow for guaranteed precision strikes
04:02on heavily protected targets at any distance.
04:05The Burevestnik's technical characteristics
04:09allow us to use it with guaranteed accuracy
04:12against heavily protected targets at any distance.
04:15Moreover, during the test,
04:17the missile performed all the required vertical
04:21and horizontal maneuvers,
04:23thereby demonstrating its high capabilities
04:25in evading anti-missile and air defenses.
04:29President Putin emphasized that the missile demonstrated
04:34high accuracy in hitting its target,
04:36which it confidently and precisely reaches
04:39at a pre-calculated time.
04:41In fact, they provide a strategic authority
04:46for the whole 21st century.
04:51The Burevestnik system has shown amazing capabilities.
04:56Its reach is absolutely on a record level,
05:04something that has been seen by foreign specialists,
05:09because in the zone of the testing of the Burevestnik
05:13on the 21st of October,
05:15there was a NATO surveillance vessel.
05:22We did not interfere in its work.
05:25We wanted them to have a look at our new weapons.
05:29Also, the unique small-sized reactors of the missiles,
05:41it can become operational in seconds.
05:43For normal reactors, it takes hours and sometimes days
05:48to become fully active.
05:50And so using these new systems,
05:52we are creating new types of weapons.
05:55Meanwhile, Russia has intensified operations in Ukraine.
06:00Russian operational tactical aviation,
06:03attack UAVs, missile troops and artillery
06:06have struck long-range UAV assembly areas,
06:09power and transport infrastructure
06:11and temporary deployment sites
06:13of Ukrainian forces and foreign mercenaries.
06:16Attacks on Ukraine's power grid have escalated,
06:20with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warning that Russia
06:24is preparing a major offensive targeting nuclear power facilities.
06:28Zelenskyy said these strikes aim to cripple Ukraine's energy grid
06:32and inflict severe civilian suffering.
06:36The Burevestnik missile, with its near unlimited range,
06:40nuclear propulsion and unpredictable flight patterns,
06:43represents a new and ominous dimension
06:46in Russia's military strategy.
06:49Its potential to bypass conventional defences
06:51and strike at will
06:53underscores the heightened stakes for global security
06:56in an already volatile region.
07:16electronic exploration,
07:17a new plugin for nuclearokers,
07:22the United Nations,
07:23the United Nations,
07:24is not an immortal invasion of researchers.
07:26At the first time,
07:27the United Nations has declared an international
07:27and international understanding
07:29of the United Nations.
07:30The United Nations has been recognized
07:32as well as fleeing a new project.
07:33They are correct!
07:34They are recognized in the global property
07:35by my company.
07:36As the national authority of the United Nations
07:38who has a new project,
07:39the United Nations has been recognized
07:40and the conference on their website!
