Putin Says Russia Now Has Nuclear-Powered Missile

“Russia has successfully tested its nuclear-powered and nuclear-capable Burevestnik missile and is preparing to deploy it, President Vladimir V. Putin said Sunday, a pointed message to the West after plans for a summit with President Trump collapsed,” the New York Times reports.

“Because the weapon runs on nuclear power, it can fly for much longer than other missiles can, and, the Kremlin says, is capable of evading missile defense systems.”

Said Putin: “This is a unique product that no one in the world has.”
