What you should know about Russia’s new nuclear cruise missile

On Monday, Reuters reported on my discovery that Russia appears to be building the first launch facility for its experimental Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile, which the United States calls the SSC-X-9 Skyfall. The facility is nearly complete, suggesting that the new missile could soon enter service with Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces.

There is a lot of hype surrounding the Burevestnik: US authorities have denounced Russia’s development of “radiation-emitting, nuclear-powered cruise missiles” and called the system a “flying Chernobyl.” Unlike conventional cruise missiles, which are powered by jet engines, the Burevestnik is powered by an unprotected nuclear reactor. This means it can – at least in theory – travel almost unlimited distances.
Area 51:
“No worries, we have lasers that are faster than anything else in the history of lasers. What’s in your wallet Vladimir”?
It’s made by Russians so you know safety is their #1 priority.
Doesn’t even have to explode to cause damage.
It can’t hold a candle to Tsar Bomba…
Should we bring our cat in, just in case?
