President Vladimir Putin confirmed on Sunday that Russia has successfully tested its nuclear-powered intercontinental cruise missile, the 9M730 Burevestnik. The announcement follows the missile's 14,000-kilometre flight over 15 hours, carried out on Tuesday, 21 October, during strategic offensive forces exercises.
