Russia has carried out a test of its Burevestnik cruise missile, a nuclear-powered weapon Moscow claimed possesses unlimited range and can evade existing missile defenses, according to President Vladimir Putin.
Putin announced on Oct. 26 that “decisive tests” of the nuclear-capable weapon had been completed and said the Russian military could begin preparing the infrastructure for its deployment.
