flag NATO is concerned over Russia’s operational Burevestnik missile, with unlimited range and nuclear power, challenging European defenses.

flag NATO is alarmed by Russia’s completion of the Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile, capable of near-unlimited range, high speed, and unpredictable flight paths due to its nuclear reactor and mobile launch platforms. flag The missile, known as SSC-X-9 Skyfall to NATO, can evade defenses by flying over polar and southern regions, posing a serious challenge to European air defenses. flag Russia plans to deploy the Oreshnik missile in Belarus by December, with a range up to 5,500 km and potential nuclear capability. flag Additionally, the Poseidon underwater drone, expected to be operational by 2030, could threaten coastal cities. flag While some experts question the Burevestnik’s practicality due to safety risks—including past test accidents—NATO acknowledges gaps in its medium- and long-range capabilities and continues assessing the strategic threat.
