Russia Testing "Unique" Experimental Nuke-Powered Cruise Missile
ANALYSIS – Satellite imagery suggests Russia may again be preparing to test an experimental nuclear-powered cruise missile with a theoretical intercontinental range of 14,000 miles.
The ‘unique' strategic weapon, called Burevestnik – likely armed with a nuclear warhead – could also potentially stay aloft indefinitely.
Due to its extremely long range, the missile, powered after launch by a miniature nuclear reactor, could also be based anywhere in Russia and still be able to reach targets in the continental United States.
And because of its nuclear propulsion it can fly at treetop level, an altitude of 160 to 320 feet, throughout almost all its flight.
This extremely low-altitude flight path would minimize radar detection while also allowing the weapon to use circuitous routing to avoid known air-defense locations.
And accidents can be deadly...
The missile is dangerous even without a nuclear warhead since it could release radioactive contamination from the reactor if it were to explode or malfunction during a test launch and flight.
