According to Gerasimov, the test took place on October 21. The missile flew 14,000 kilometers, but this is not the limit, the head of the general staff emphasized. In addition, according to Gerasimov, the Burevestnik demonstrated the ability to bypass missile defense systems.

Military expert Yuriy Knutov said that Putin could have announced the demonstration of the Burevestnik missile by talking about the new weapon. According to him, the Burevestnik belongs to the category of “doomsday” weapons, as its use is possible only in the event of a global nuclear war.

on October 10, during a press conference in Tajikistan, the Russian president said that it would soon be possible to announce a new weapon. He said that the production of the weapon had been announced and was now being tested.

Against this backdrop, the Chinese publication Sohu drew attention to the ability of the Burevestnik to radically change the balance of power in the world.
